I’m a 100 percent sure this mothers instinct kept her from hesitating one second once she realized her child was in trouble RIP sweet lady.

That’s a real mom gives her life for the child

“She gave everything for her kids, even her life”. Rest easy.

No matter how strong of a swimmer you are, wear a life jacket. So sorry for this mother and her family.

Interesting that the sheriffs office says it wasn’t lack of training yet it took the private dive team to ALSO find another body from a month ago. Its shameful that the family had to call in the dive team at all

Losing her life also brought closure to another family who was looking for their missing loved one. May God comfort both families during this time and beyond 💐

Ugh how horrible, and right before mothers day. My sincere condolences to her family and friends🙏🏻😔

Sheriff hates being told they're not competent with all their training!!! It's NOT About "Luck!" It's about results!

These private water recovery guys are amazing! They get the sad job of finding bodies out d rivers that trained for rescue security officials can’t find. Cuz they are good at their jobs n god seems to work thru them better. N they don’t even get a paycheck! All for free. Amazing. God bless this private rescue team. 🙏true angels walking among us. Rivers n lakes are fun folk but also statistically a good way to lose a love one n child. Can’t emphasize enough to be ready n trained for a water rescue. Or simply chose another kind of adventure or go but don’t get in d water unless ur swimming skills are above average. Very dangerous. Look at data.

How awful. Such a sad story. That is a 100% mother, thinking about saving her daughter and not caring about her own danger. RIP, angel.

Heartbreaking. My heart is with these kids and family.

[nobodyimportant]

Wow! She gave her life. There’s no greater love then to give your own life to save another.

She was a loving mother to her last breath. May she rest in peace. 😢

People ignore warnings every year. The local police and fire advised everyone to stay out of the water. If you want to swim find a pool. Why would you take your kids to the river that is still freezing cold due to the severe winter weather this year. I'm a Native American and dour elders have always told us. We are to stay off the river until after schools out. People learn from others mistakes, this is you lives you are gambling with. Now this lady is gone and her kids have no mom over something that could have been prevented. Where were her kids life preservers????

[lorraineyanez]

A mother wouldn't hesitate to save her children in any circumstances. ❤

She made the ultimate sacrifice. So sorry for the family's loss 😔🙏

What greater love than a man/woman give his/her life for another! Prayers for the family. There is a miracle running around now. If anyone thinks this is not a miracle keep up with the news. Just a few weeks ago a mother threw her kids into traffic and one died. This mother gave everything for her children and she deserves to be honored. She is in GODs hands now, where there is no pain, no suffering, just endless LOVE! This woman is very rare these days.♥🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
