A mother who lost her eight-year-old daughter in the devastating Texas floods this summer has shared her “proof” that she is “now with God”.
Eloise Peck was attending Christian summer camp at Camp Mystic in Kerr County, Texas when the area was hit by massive flooding on the Fourth of July weekend.
Reportedly, a month’s worth of rain fell within a few short hours, causing the banks of the Guadalupe River to burst, flooding the surrounding area.
CNN claimed at the time that at least 135 people lost their lives in the flood, with most based in the Kerr County region.
Tragically, little Elouise was one of 27 campers and counsellors who died at Camp Mystic.
A statement on the camp’s website read: “Camp Mystic is grieving the loss of 27 campers and counsellors following the catastrophic flooding on the Guadalupe river.
“Our hearts are broken alongside our families that are enduring this unimaginable tragedy. We are praying for them constantly.”
Nearly two months on from the tragedy, and Eloise’s mother, Missy Peck, has opened up on the moment she claims to have seen a sign from God that her daughter is now in Heaven.
Speaking to NBC DFW, she said: “We’d had a particularly emotional day and we were sitting at a bonfire, roasting marshmallows and talking, and I looked up in the sky and saw what could have only been described as God, the universe and Lulu [her nickname for Eloise] working together.
“There was an ‘E’ – a very clear ‘E’ in the sky, crystal blue.”
What’s more, the family of nine-year-old Lila Bonner, Eloise’s best friend at the camp, who also heartbreakingly lost her life in the flooding, say they too saw a sign.
Lila’s mom Caitlin told how she had “begged for a sign” from the universe following her ‘Lailabug’s’ death.
“We got home and there were lady bugs all over our interior staircase inside. Not one, like 10, on the first day and we’ve had a few that lingered,” Bonner explained.
“And then on the first day of school for Scarlet and Holden, Scarlet and I walked outside to take her picture where we’ve always taken it with Lila and I was so nervous and she was so brave and she goes, ‘Mom, Lila’s here!’ – and our whole front porch, like the awning, had like maybe 30 ladybugs.”
Today the families of both Eloise and Lila are part of the Heaven’s 27 Foundation, aiming to protect Texas campers by passing Heaven’s 27 Camp Safety Act.
