I pray it isn’t so. I lost my son there last year. Took us two months and a day to find him. No words can express my condolences. Much love to the family ♡

I am sorry for your loss. I will never be the same. My son was found in the mouth. By golden bear rv resort.
I was local there for six months after. I am on the coast again and am there at the river on the weekends.
Are you local?

Sending my love and prayers. This hits so close to home it breaks my heart. My husband drowned in the trinity in hoopa almost two years ago and it’s a pain and loss I can’t begin to explain. I pray for this person and their family.

I am sooooo saddened to get hear such pain and as a Mother I feel it.
On a positive note…..I think this is one of the first comment sections I have read in its entirety and only see supportive, caring comments from our Community.
The topic….has a lot to do with that, I’m sure. The people…do as well.
Thank you for taking the time to care…and the choice to be kind. It isn’the any harder to do. It is the right thing to do if healing is the intention. ❤
