Sorry to hear about your newphew NEMDF, my condolences. I guess your family never got closure due to not ever finding his body. I pray that some day he will be found and will be given a proper burial.
Thank you. The area where he was lost, was just flooded again last week (Meramec by Eureka, MO), so we are fairly resigned to the fact that his remains will not be located now, after this. If he had been “in one spot” since the original accident, chances are slim that they are still “together”.
People REALLY need to wear flotation devices for all types of lake and river recreation.
