Texans Offer a Hand and Open Their Hearts as Flood Death Toll Grows
Chloe Childress, an 18-year-old counselor at Camp Mystic who died in the Central Texas floods last weekend, was a force of spontaneity who embraced every moment. Sally Sample Graves, who was 91 when she died, received praise for how she looked out for her 10 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.
In Kerrville, Texas, Sally Sample Graves, who was 91 when she died in the flood in Ingram, received praise for how she looked out for her 10 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.
“She wouldn’t buy dryer sheets for herself because they cost too much, but she helped every one of us grandchildren pay for college,” her granddaughter Laura Scott said at a funeral.
Across Texas this weekend, as the death toll from the flooding grew to 129 and a legion of workers kept up their search for the missing, the loved ones of victims paid tribute at services while wrestling with the emptiness left behind.
