Highland Park ISD student Eloise Peck did not survive Friday’s catastrophic flooding along the Guadalupe River, journalist Steve Noviello has reported on his Facebook page.
“Eloise was literally friends with everyone. She loved spaghetti but not more than she loved dogs and animals. She passed away with her cabinmate and best friend Lila Bonner who also died. Eloise had a family who loved her fiercely for the 8 years she was with us. Especially her Mommy,” Eloise’s mother told Noviello.
The Kerr County Sheriff’s Office announced on its Facebook page Saturday evening that the flood’s death toll has risen to 43, including 15 children and 28 adults.
