(The Center Square) – Throughout the Hill Country, crosses, words of Jesus, prayers and messages of hope are written on memorials honoring nearly 150 killed from the catastrophic July 4 flash flood.

In Hunt, along the Guadalupe Riverbank, a wooden cross memorial was presented to the people of Kerr County by TheMessageOfTheCross.net. It cites Revelation 21:4, “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
