Yeah, for a teenager to be told stay by staff but then to continue to assess the situation and make the judgment call to get them out of there while they still could - that takes something special that most don't have.

That's kind of what I figured - so the counselors were telling their girls what they knew would have happened - most of the flats cabins would evacuate to the Rec, everyone else should be fine in their cabins…

Knowing that they had poor cell service out there, an alternate means of communicating around the camp would have made a big difference out there. Even just having a radio at each main camp area would have allowed them to make it clear what was happening in each area to each other.

Seeing that many obituaries in one place is absolutely crushing. Maybe that link could be stickied by staff at the top.

Yes, please. Stickie this post. I want to go back and read it sometime. When I have time to be alone and just cry and pray.

It makes me physically ill to think of the choice she made knowing that she and the girls could have been washed away. But she made the choice in time and that is all you can say now.

We know her family from school and they are undoubtedly proud and thankful for their daughter's actions but can only imagine the what-ifs they must be going through.

Donation made.

Done sir.

So Cile is the only Mystic person that's still missing right?

Is there an updated number for the other missing people? I haven't heard a new number since they moved the missing estimate up to 160 or so early last week.

Dear Lord, please let them find her soon.

I am not an Aggie, or even a Texan; just a mom from Georgia who has been praying fervently for all who have been affected by this. My own daughter is the age of many of these campers and she has been praying, too.

From my family to all of you, I want to pass on my sincere thanks to those in this forum; this has been an enormously amazing resource to allow us to know how to pray.

If you're hurting, if you're suffering, if you're wondering what to do now, please just know you don't have to figure it out alone. May the following days bring a peace that passes understanding.

God bless each of you and we will continue to pray. It is a testament to your community that so many outsiders have come here to find information and comfort.

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."

This was my sentiments as well, being from Michigan, it really does go to show how far the human reach really is and how we can all hurt together.

Seeing you on here encouraged me to post! My husband is a Michigander, too.

I think to have it stickied it would need to be its own post. Then ask for the sticky.

Welcome to TexAgs, y'all. Thank you for being here.

Continued prayers my friends.

Adding to this prayer. Please, Lord, let them find Cile. Thank you for allowing the other families to have closure. Prayers for continued comfort for all. Prayers for rest. Prayers for peace.

My thoughts are with Cile's family tonight. I can't even imagine being in their positions. The last of the missing. The last to be able to lay their baby to rest.

Sweet girl. I believe she will be found, someday. I can feel it. Hopefully it is soon.

I heard from somebody pretty connected that most of the searching is happening in very specific places because based on the water flow and a lot of math that's where they'll be. Most if not all of the professional searchers and dogs are focused on those areas.

Someone reccomended I put my info including links to obituaries and memorial funds into a live google doc that maybe can be stickied somehow? Not sure. But, I decided to do it anyway.

The Link to the document I made is here:

I have included all the girls approx in the order they were confirmed to have been recovered.

All is publicly available info at this point so I hope I am not further invading the privacy of these sweet girls but instead clearing up remaining confusion and questions about specific girls and their situations and pointing anyone in the direction of donations in honor of the girls' as their families have requested if they so choose to do so.

LINK is here and should be accessible to anyone with the link. Feel free to share if desired...

Edit: Not my doing, but also wanted to share someone who considerably improved available maps for the camp, this far exceeds google maps and previous diagrams I shared https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/581009591#map=18/30.009269/-99.369849

It was me! I started to put one together but yours is 100 times better.
Beautiful job! Bless you!

One more suggestion: if TexAg staff don't stickie it to the top of this post, create another post ( which you can reference here) so it doesn't get lost in the hundreds of pages of this post.

Yes. Dear Lord, please help them to find Cile.

The Burgess family will be laid to rest together. I was hoping those two little boys would be found. Keeping Cile, Holland, Lyle, and Harley in my prayers that they will be found. Everyone deserves to be found, but I'm keeping the little ones in extra prayers.

The search teams are using AquaEyes. The company is really stepping up to get them into the hands of the searchers. https://www.kens5.com/article/news/state/texas-news/texas-flood/kerr-county-kerrville-guadalupe-river-new-device-technology-search-recovery-help-radar-visibility-aquaeye/273-7f820b4a-e80e-4d91-bc4a-ff5454520f79?tag1=kensshare&fbclid=IwY2xjawLjIjJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHqoBumthZKifrXtzk3okpUHiGpWzDGatCoKpd4jT7I0JHI5_V2Wc4KDjdpVP_aem_VeJe-L1DX0Av-K8Ze5JyrA

A body was recovered yesterday evening that is strongly believed to be Virginia, but DNA confirmation has not come back yet. That confirmation should be coming in anytime today.

One of the Hollis' friends (AustinCountyAg) posted last night that she was recovered.

I am dermdoc's nephew, over the last couple of nights I have been able to read the threads with overwhelming support, love, and prayers you sent to my family. It has been humbling, encouraging, and truthfully given us strength. Thank you

I wanted to reply to this because there has been some gofundmes that were started with good intentions, but have no clear direction in the way of distributing funds raised. As you can imagine, I went from launching my boat early 4th of July morning to spend time my family at the lake to 10 days later having to figure out a way to establish a memorial fund for my 8 year old daughter. We don't have a clear vision. However, be rest assured that anything raised will go towards education, and/or memorializing Mary Grace in some form or fashion. We anticipate a formal announcement for this on 7/26 (the day she was to be picked up from camp), but we understand the desire for people to contribute now.

Please pray for Cile's family, and continue to pray for all of us. This will be a very long road.

Continued prayers for you and your family.

God bless you and your family during this trying time. All of the families impacted are in our thoughts and prayers. Thanks for the update.

My prayers have not ceased for you and your family, and all of the others so impacted by these storms. Thank you for the update.

Deleting until family puts something out themselves.

We'll continue to pray for you and all those affected. I think you're in a golf group with our SIL Hunter. He's been keeping us updated and your strength through all of this is just another reflection of God's providence.

Where are you seeing about the Burgess family being laid to rest? The church will be having another prayer vigil July 16, this one for all who have perished in the flooding and those that remain missing. Then on the 19th there will be a memorial eucharist at the church for the Burgess family. Later that same day the school will have a Public Service of Remembrance at the school auditorium.

Clark, you and your family are in our prayers.

Your family has been fervently prayed for, and will continue to be.
