You know what makes me really ill? They knew not to go fishing in that area because they were warned it was very dangerous and they went anyway.
Now the family members to get on with life without them and that will be close to impossible and that is a fact.
That is so sad because all of this could and should have been avoided.
One of them said something about they will live a better life and then they gave up this sounds like suicide by drawning. As my husband said maybe just maybe that was a pact between all of these men. I hope and pray he is wrong in his thinking but now a days you just never know.
MAY GOD BLESS THEIR ENTIRE FAMILIES NOW AND FOR ALL TIME AS I AM SURE HE WILL!!!
