Our hearts are heavy as we grieve alongside the people of Texas following the recent heartbreaking tragedy. In moments like these, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the strength found in community, compassion, and prayer.
At Missouri Magazine, we stand united in support of those affected. We are lifting up the families and individuals facing unimaginable loss and pain. May comfort, healing, and peace find their way to every heart touched by this tragedy.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Kansas City Cheifs Owner Clark, Tavia and the entire Hunt family, who are mourning the loss of their little cousin.
“Our hearts are broken by the devastation from the floods in Wimberley and the tragic loss of so many lives,” Clark’s wife Tavia Hunt wrote on Instagram July 6, “including a precious little Hunt cousin, along with several friend’s little girls.”~Tavia Hunt
The flood has become one of the deadliest to hit the United States over the past 100 years, leaving, as of July 7, 81 people among those dead, per NBC News, including 75 in Kerr County, where Camp Mystic, a Christian girls’ camp, is based.
In a powerful reflection, Tavia continued:
“How do we trust a God who is supposed to be good, all knowing and all powerful, but who allows such terrible things to happen—even to children?” Tavia continued. “That is a sacred and tender question—and one the Bible doesn’t shy away from. Scripture is filled with the cries of those whose hearts have been shattered, who still wrestle to trust the same God they believe allowed the pain.”
From our Missouri family to yours, Texas—you are in our hearts. We stand with the Hunt family and every family grieving today, holding onto hope, healing, and the strength found in community and faith.
“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
