Grieving mom of dead Camp Mystic camper desperately seeks daughter’s ‘most prized possession’ lost in devastating Texas floods

 

 

A grieving Texas mother whose 8-year-old daughter died when catastrophic flash floods ripped through Camp Mystic is desperately seeking the return of her child’s cherished stuffed toy.

Stacy Stevens, whose daughter Mary Barrett Stevens was among the 27 killed when tragedy struck the all-girls Christian camp on July 4, said the youngster’s beloved brown monkey was swept away in the deadly floodwaters.

“Looking for my daughter’s monkey that she has had her whole life and took with her to camp,” Stevens wrote Tuesday in a since-deleted public post in a Facebook group focused on recovering lost items from the Guadalupe River.

“We lost my daughter and would love to have it back as it was her most prized possession. It has her name on the tag — a square sticker with Mary Barrett Stevens on it. Please call me if you find it!”
