I was in the bayou and Dauphin Island area today seeing my home health visits, and stopped at the Bayou La Batre Town Hall to see about donating money for funeral expenses, etc-I was told an account was being set up at Compass Bank(Tillman’s Corner-but I’m sure donations can be made at any Compass, just ask about the account for the 4 kids) and Hollinger’s Island Baptist-I am not sure if that is their home church, but perhaps it will be a starting point for you Kris.
I have to say, driving over that bridge today, gave me chills, and I couldn’t help but look at every body of water I passed today watching for the other two. God bless the babies and the mom. You are in my heart and prayers.

To the mother of the 4 beautiful children.  My heart , thoughts and prayers are with you and your family .Jesus loves you.

To the mother :As a mother myself i cannot imagine the pain you must be going through I pray that one day you will find some peace and comfort,but for now please remember that you and your family are in all of our hearts and prayers.
And to those precious babies rest in peace for no more harm can come to you now.

I do not want to go to the funeral but I have thought about doing a candlelit after dark prayer vigil. Either at cedar point or the state docks in the bayou. I would really like a church or a pastor to be involved. I have heard the family is baptist but not sure what church they are a member of.

jacey you sound as if you are really stupid i dont know why anyone would waste there time talking to you . you are not worth the time that could be spent praying for this mom and her kids.i can only hope that you are never put in her shoes.what would even make you say that you have no pity for her? i think( seek 1234) is right ,you and he would make a great couple your both stupid ,heatless ,cold a-holes.do you have kids?
God i hope not, i would hate to see how they turn out. evil spawns evil ,and you my dear are evil. hey heres an idea, why dont you and he go to the bridge, and let the moter throw both your heartless butts off and maybe we can find it in are hearts someplace to pity you .doubt it though.

Maybe you should align your actions with your words.  Good deeds seem to be downplayed when the words that come out of you contradict your actions.  If your intent is to help look for the kids then leave it at that and don’t make comments about the mother because it really makes you seem very “uncaring”, which from what you say is not you at all.

Just for your knowledge. This “uncaring” person has spent my last two off days trudging through the marshes of Point of Pines, Bayou Coden, old Portersville Bay, Bayou Como and Bayou la Batre, as well as, going to Coffee Island late today and got back in a nightfall. I don’t live on the island as you do but I do live on the bayou. My concern is the babies. They don’t deserve to be where they are. People say the mom was heartbroken on tv, didn’t see it, I was out looking for her babies.

I think many people would like to show their support and perhaps attend the funeral, but it may be best to call the church and speak to the pastor as to what he thinks is the right thing to do. While it is a way to show support, some people would rather grieve privately, and may feel that people they don’t know are there to “sight-see.” I would in no way want to offend the family, and perhaps the best way to show support would be through donations to help pay for funeral expenses, or sending flowers and a sympathy card. Just my opinion.

I was also thinking about it.  It surely is not wrong to do, a funeral is an opportunity for you to show your support, unless the family comes out and says otherwise.

i have honestly thought about going to the funeral ...has anyone else or is that wrong of me to do…
