Eloise Peck, 8, was a second-grade graduate from Bradfield Elementary in Dallas. Her mother, Missy Peck, spoke to FOX 4:
“Eloise was friends with everyone. She loved spaghetti almost as much as she loved animals. She passed away with her best friend Lila, and she was fiercely loved during her eight years with us — especially by me.”

The Broader Impact and Rising Death Toll

Camp Mystic wasn’t the only location affected. The floods also claimed lives elsewhere — including young sisters visiting their grandparents when the torrent overwhelmed their riverside cabin.

The total number of lives lost has risen to 67, including 38 adults, and officials warn the number may climb to over 100, according to reports shared with Daily Mail.

Desperate posts have flooded social media as families and friends try to locate their missing loved ones in the aftermath.

A Summer Dream Turned Into a Nightmare

What was meant to be a magical summer getaway turned into a scene of devastation as torrential rainfall caused the Guadalupe River to surge with alarming speed. Camp Mystic — long celebrated for its traditions and riverside serenity — became engulfed in chaos as floodwaters overtook cabins in the dead of night.

By Monday morning, officials confirmed what many had feared: All 24 girls at the camp were found deceased.

Kendall County Sheriff Troy Mendez described it as:
“The darkest day our community has ever seen. We’ve lost daughters, sisters, best friends — we’ve lost light.”

Blake Shelton Responds with Generosity and Grace

Country music star Blake Shelton has stepped up with heartfelt support, donating $100,000 toward family assistance and rescue efforts — and more than that, he used his voice to honor the fallen.

“River of Angels” — A Song for the Lost

Within hours of hearing the news, Shelton released an acoustic tribute titled “River of Angels.” The lyrics, “You danced where the water runs, now Heaven holds your song”, have already resonated with thousands online.

In an emotional video, he said:
“I didn’t know these girls personally, but I felt like I did. I hope this song brings just a small bit of comfort.”

A Nation in Mourning

Vigils are taking place throughout Texas and beyond. Communities are lighting candles, holding prayer circles, and sending messages of love. President Biden called it a “national tragedy” and pledged federal assistance to support ongoing recovery efforts.

What Comes Next

As search crews continue working and families navigate unthinkable grief, the entire country stands still — mourning, reflecting, and coming together.
