(Rachel Quackenbush/Catholic Vote) — Blair and Brooke Harber, two young sisters from Dallas, were found holding hands and their rosaries after floodwaters swept away their cabin along the Guadalupe River over the July 4 weekend.
According to their school, the girls had gone to the loft of their cabin with their rosaries the night the flooding occurred, NBC 5 reported. Their bodies were recovered the next day, 15 miles downstream.
Jennifer Harber, the girls’ aunt, shared in the family’s GoFundMe post that Blair and Brooke were found “with their hands locked together.”
“When Blair and Brooke were found the next day, fifteen miles downriver, they were together,” St. Rita Catholic School in Dallas, which both girls attended, shared in a statement. “Even in their last moments, they held tightly to each other, a powerful symbol of their lasting bond and their trust in God.”
“Blair and Brooke Harber clung to each other as they were swept away by ravaging floods in Kerr County early Friday with rescuers discovering the bodies of the 11- and 13-year-old sisters from Dallas with rosaries and hands locked together” https://t.co/afEj0trvvc
