Meanwhile, Tavia Hunt, Clark’s wife, wrote on Instagram: “Our hearts are broken by the devastation from the floods in Wimberley and the tragic loss of so many lives — including a precious little Hunt cousin, along with several friend’s little girls. 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?

“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.”

Other confirmed deaths at the summer camp include Renee Smajstrla, 8, Sarah Marsha, 8, Eloise Peck, 8, and Lila Bonner, 9.

Speaking to NBC News, Lila’s family said: “In the midst of our unimaginable grief, we ask for privacy and are unable to confirm any details at this time.

“We ache with all who loved her and are praying endlessly for others to be spared from this tragic loss.”
