With broken hearts and unimaginable grief, we share the devastating news that Mary Kathryn Jacobe, only 8 years old, has been found among the victims of the tragic Camp Mystic flood in Texas.
Mary Kathryn was a light—full of innocence, wonder, and joy. A little girl with dreams just beginning to take shape, her laughter was the kind that filled rooms and hearts. Her life, filled with promise and love, was stolen far too soon by a disaster no child should ever face.
She was only a child…
No more birthdays.
No more school mornings or late-night stories.
Just silence where her laughter used to live.
A space now filled with grief, unanswered questions, and aching hearts.
Mary Kathryn’s passing is a loss that ripples beyond her family and friends. It’s a loss for every community that cherishes its children, and a cruel reminder of how fragile and precious life truly is.
Please keep the Jacobe family in your thoughts and prayers. No parent should ever have to endure the pain of burying their child. As they navigate this unimaginable sorrow, may they find strength in the love surrounding them and the gentle memory of a little girl who was so deeply cherished.
Rest in peace, sweet Mary Kathryn.
You were loved beyond measure.
You will never be forgotten. 🕊️
