No words do justice to thoughts. I'm so sorry. We are all grieving. But we cannot imagine on this earth the beauty and holy light and love little Mary Grace is enfolded and surrounded in right now.

I am so sorry Doc, blessings to you and your family. You are beacon of strength, dignity, and grace. We are here for you and yours.

So supposedly they have found Mary Grace's body. Which is good for closure. Thank y'all so much.

Love you Bud.

Derm, I'm so sorry. I'm praying for you and your family.

Praying for you and your family.

When it seems as though the weight of the world is collapsing your soul, remember this verse…

Romans 8:18 KJV

For I recon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.


Those who have struggled mightily in this random flood are all in the presence of The Lord for eternity.

Sorry Derm.

Words are insignificant and insufficient.

I'm so sorry Derm. I was hoping for good news as I caught up on this post. We'll continue to pray for you and your family.

Anyone ever set up an endowed scholarship before? Just an idea. Probably needs it's own thread, but I would donate a couple bucks for all of the Ags that lost kids and grandkids through this if a scholarship was created in their memory.

This is the news none of us wanted to ever see on this thread, and have been dreading.

Derm, my heart breaks for you and your family, as well as all the victims of this horrific tragedy. Please know your TexAgs family is here to comfort you and help you through this difficult time.

Here!

So sorry to hear this Derm. Prayers for you and your family.

Derm, I am so sorry, you're vulnerability on this thread has been something to witness. I have followed along this story every day on the hour that I have been awake. I have prayed for Mary Grace, for you and her family. My heart is heavy for your loss and I am just so unbelievably broken over all of this hardship.

I worked in the 3rd and 4th grade classroom in church yesterday and various kids shared their stories connected to this tragedy and I was just reminded of their innocent age.

I will attempt from a distance to sit with you and others in their grief just like the friends of Job did in chapter 2 verse 11 and pray for those close to you to do the same.

I've been praying for a miracle.

Praying for you, Doc

I set one up when my daughter passed away 8 years ago and basically contacted my local independent school district and they handled everything.

We were able to raise about $20k in her name and it eventually went to fund several kids that were heading to technical school or college. My wife encouraged students who she taught when she was pregnant with my daughter to write brief letters about their future plans and we awarded them based on that.

Rebecca (Hanna's twin) was found. Hadley was confirmed to be found today too.

Very sorry for your family's loss, sir…

Peace to her, you, and the entire family at this hour…

Derm, you and your family in my prayers.

You can also create them through the San Antonio Area Foundation and SAAFDN can handle the logistics.

Obviously the A&M Foundation is an option as well.

I cannot fathom the pain that these families are going through. It's so damn heartbreaking.

So sorry for your loss Derm.

I'm so sorry to read those heartbreaking words, Derm. You and your family will remain in my prayers. Mary Grace has certainly brought together a group of prayer warriors. God bless.

So sorry Derm.

..Along with the fundraiser, the TFND nation extended a call for prayers for all affected and in the search for Coach Reese Zunker and his family. On Saturday evening, they hosted a prayer service; unfortunately, during the service, word was received that Coach Zunker's body had been found.


On Wednesday, July 9, they will have a "Kerr County Blessing" at Antler Stadium. The event will start at 7 p.m. with worship and prayer led by Young Life Director Josh Smithson. A social gathering on the field will follow.
"This special event is an opportunity for us to come together in faith, support and unity as we continue to walk through this time as a community," Neill said.

I was dreading this post. Words don't begin to describe how very sorry I am for you and your family. You will remain in our prayers.

I'm so sorry Derm for you and your family. I have no words that can offer any comfort from a stranger on a message board but to say that my wife and I have been praying for you and your family and will continue to do so during this terrible time.

Doc, been praying for you and your family to have peace.

Stay strong and just breathe

Please don't fly drones in Kerr County right now.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19o4BEMc7x/?mibextid=

From City of Kerrville FB page

PLEASE GROUND YOUR DRONES UNTIL CURRENT FLOOD SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATIONS ARE COMPLETE

This afternoon, a private drone illegally operating in restricted airspace collided with a helicopter involved in emergency operations in Kerr County. The helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing, and a critical piece of response equipment is now out of service until further notice.

This was entirely preventable.

Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) are not suggestions. They are federal airspace rules designed to protect lives during emergency situations. When you fly a drone in restricted areas, you're not just breaking the law -- you're putting first responders, emergency crews, and the public at serious risk.

Does anyone have information on the aircraft that was hit?

Asking because I haven't seen it posted anywhere and this is very much in my lane.

God bless you and your family

I know everyone knows this song but it always helps me during times of grief:

I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with your family.

I used to follow your posts during Covid. I was very appreciative of them

I wish I could do more to help.

Man, My wife and I have been praying they found her so many times. We just knew she'd be walking out of those woods or at a shelter.


So sad Derm. Prayers for y'all's family.


I am relived they found her body for her parents. I can't even comprehend what I would be doing myself. I think we have all put ourselves or our daughters there………. Prayers for you all.

Terrible news. Senseless tragedy. Thinking and praying for your family. RIP.
