Brian Warter, 51, and Erica Wishart, 48, parents of six, were on their first family vacation in Florida when they tragically lost their lives.

The couple were swimming together with two of their children on Hutchinson Island on June 20 when the catastrophe unfolded.

The teenagers were able to save themselves, but both Brian and Erica were helpless against the powerful ocean currents.

According to the statement issued by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office regarding the tragedy, the teenagers made courageous attempts to rescue their parents but were ultimately overpowered by the strong current. Emergency responders arrived quickly, initiating rescue operations. Tragically, even though they were rushed to a nearby hospital, Brian and Erica were pronounced dead by the medical personnel.”

On the day the couple lost their lives, the water conditions were notoriously dangerous, with red flags flying at the beach to warn swimmers of the dangerous riptide conditions, according to Cory Pippen, a representative from Martin County Fire Rescue. These flags are meant to alert beachgoers about potential water hazards like strong rip currents.

According to Brian’s dad, his son and Erica were together for over a year. They were engaged and were planning on getting married after all of their children finished college, according to CBS 12 News.

Their first vacation along with the kids was a significant moment in their lives.

“They were so thrilled, they couldn’t see straight about going down,” Brian’s father, Larry Warter, recounted. “This was the first time. This was the experiment. They had all six of their kids together. They had been planning it for over a month.”

The couple was very much in love. Larry Warter noted, “It was obvious if you were around them,” reflecting on Brian and Erica’s bond. Brian’s mom, Susie Warter, said that her son and Erica were loved by many and everyone who knew them.

Brian’s family received numerous messages of support from their family, friends, and the entire community. “We’ve been overwhelmed by offers of help and everything else. We thought we were going through this alone and it hasn’t been,” Larry Warter shared.

A GoFundMe page was established in the couple’s memory. There, Wayne Sallurday offered a touching tribute to Erica. “Erica was simply an amazing person. She was a loving mother of two sons and two daughters; with her youngest son being adopted at a young age.

“Erica worked at an elementary school teaching special needs children, and later worked in her school library. She spent a significant amount of time helping at her local church. We could go on and on, but we think you get the picture by now. She was one of the nicest human beings you could ever meet.”

The National Weather Service provides important guidance on rip currents on its website, emphasizing that while rip currents do not pull swimmers underwater, they can swiftly tire them out. Staying calm is essential.

“Trying to swim against a rip current will only use up your energy; energy you need to survive and escape the rip current. Do NOT try to swim directly into the shore. Swim along the shoreline until you escape the current’s pull. When free from the pull of the current, swim at an angle away from the current toward shore,” the website advises. The service also recommends never swimming alone and adhering to the motto, ‘If in doubt, don’t go out!’”

This tragedy should serve as a reminder of the dangers of rip currents and the importance of following safety warnings while swimming.

May they rest in peace.

They tore mother down when writing her obituary

By

Jay Dehmalo and his sister Gina saw their mother’s passing as an opportunity to air the anger they felt toward her.

The obituary they wrote following her death at the age of 80 started as an ordinary one, revealing information of her place of birth. They moved on adding that she married their father, Dennis Dehmalo and had them.

But then, the following lines revealed a painful truth that neither Jay nor Gina could overcome throughout the years.

“In 1962 she became pregnant by her husband’s brother Lyle Dehmlow and moved to California,” the death notice read. “She abandoned her children, Gina and Jay who were then raised by her parents in Clements, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Schunk.”

The obituary, that was accompanied by a photo of Dehmlow and was published in the Redwood Falls Gazette, her hometown newspaper, further read, “She passed away on May 31, 2018 in Springfield and will now face judgement. She will not be missed by Gina and Jay, and they understand that this world is a better place without her.”

Once the obituary went viral, Jay spoke to the Daily Mail and revealed that he and his sister did had reservations about what they included in it, but eventually decided to publish it because they wanted the truth revealed and get the last word.

“I remember she came home twice and on one occasion she was showing pictures of her and her kids playing cards, drinking beers…,” Jay told Daily Mail.

“Gina and I were standing in the room, just standing there and she didn’t even acknowledge us. It’s like we didn’t exist.”

The Redwood Falls Gazette removed the obituary after it gained attention online and was re-shared by other news outlets.

The newspaper’s founder and CEO said it was not illegal to publish the obituary regardless of its content, adding that the content standards of their newspaper partners are high so they did revise the obituary and eventually removed it from their website, but until that point, it had already spread all around the social media.

Some family members criticized the brother and sister for writing such things for their late mother, but they said they don’t regret it and would do it again.

Back in 2017, Paige Glenn and Artyon Celestine, young dance sensation, dazzled the America’s Got Talent judges with an electrifying performance to Footloose. Paige, then just 8 years old, and Artyon, 9, showed incredible talent, especially for someone their age.

These two young dancers’ journey started at a California dance academy, where the two instantly clicked. This connection soon blossomed into a powerful partnership on stage. Paige and Artyon shared passion, which only added to their stunning performance.

Their Footloose routine, that included jumps, kicks, and flawless spins, started with Paige dancing on the judge’s table, impressing everyone in the room. Despite their undeniable talent, they failed to move on to the semi-finals, but they did receive a standing ovation from judges Heidi Klum and Mel B. Both the judges and the audience were mesmerized by their moves.

Before their famous Footloose performance, Paige and Artyon had first auditioned for the show with a dance to Barbie Girl.

While Klum, Mel B, and guest judge Seal responded positively, Simon Cowell was not impressed. Still, the dancing duo got their way to the Judge Cuts. Their next appearance was a dance routine on I’ve Had the Time of My Life.

Michael Brudenell-Bruce, the Marquess of Ailesbury, was found dead on the patio at the home of his long-term partner, Teresa Marshall de Paoli.

Allegedly, he died after falling a balcony while letting his cat, Honeybun, out of a first-floor window.

His partner of 37 years found him in a pool of blood on the concrete paving stones. 

Speaking to The Sun, Marshall de Paoli said, “It was a freak accident. He was covered in blood. I said to him, ‘Oh, my darling, what has happened?’, but he was dead.” 

She then added that police believed she killed him, but “there had not been a row – I hadn’t hit him”.

“I think the cat got her head stuck and he pushed [the window] up and lost his balance, and he fell onto the patio,” she said. “He fell, breaking the roses on the wall as he fell.”

“He could have been lying there an hour, an hour and a half. He was cold and very pale.

“I got a cushion and put it under his head. I dialled 999 and said my partner has had an accident.

“The ambulance and police was here within seven minutes and a police officer, a woman said he was dead.

“A Police officer said death was instant. The police treated it as a crime.”

Marshall de Paoli was later allowed to see her late husband again and spray his body with his favorite aftershave.

A 15-year-old boy cared for my parents, but when he visited mom in the hospital – I wasn’t prepared for what happened next

My mom and dad, two elderly people, have lived all by themselves. I reside in another state and often think of them, although I don’t get to pay them a visit as often as I would like to.

Recently, they started getting frequent visits by their 15-year-old neighbor who’s been doing a bunch of errands for them. He checks on them, mows their lawn, accompanies my dad to the grocery store, helps him pick out items, carry them, and unloads everything inside.

He does all this without being asked. He just feels like he needs to land a helping hand to two fragile people in need of some company and compassion.

I knew this young man was there for my parents whenever they needed, but what I didn’t realize was that he genuinely cared for them and considered them his real grandparents.

When my mom ended up in the hospital, the boy appeared at the hospital room. He seemed scared and extremely worried for her. His eyes were watery. The moment he looked at my mom, he cracked.

Trembling, he asked me if he could approach closer. I agreed, and he gave my mom a hug. She hugged him back and the two started crying. They stayed in embrace for a couple of minutes and it felt like they never wanted to let go.

They held each other in silence, sharing a moment that bound them together by something beyond words.

When he was ready to let go, he wiped his teary eyes, and whispered to me, “Don’t worry, I’ll be there for them. I won’t leave them alone.”

His words touched my soul forever. That boy has been a true representation of kindness.

I was certain his parents were proud of the man they raised, a man of compassion and integrity.

As I left home, I felt at peace knowing that at my absence, my parents were in safe hands.

My nonverbal son warned me about my husband’s secret by writing ‘Dad Lies!’ on his palm

Family matters are not always easy. The obstacles two people face, their ability to work together on issues that suddenly arise, and resolving the challenges that test their love and trust for one another is what makes a relationship work.

Sometimes, however, when two people don’t communicate openly, doubts regarding their affection and fidelity start to emerge, and those doubts can affect a relationship beyond repair.

A woman’s husband, whom she shared a non-verbal child with, started coming home from work earlier.

At first, the woman was glad this was happening because she could spend more time with her and their son, Oliver, but as those early returns became more and more frequent, the woman started having doubts.

Midjourney

The husband, James, seemed to be getting home while the family’s nanny was still in the house. This “coincidence” raised suspicions. The woman started wondering if those early arrivals had anything to do with the nanny, Tessa, and not James’ wish to be spending more time around his son.

The more she thought about this, the more her heart raced. She started noticing other signs too. James would often get out of the house, speaking on his phone with someone until late in the night.

The woman’s heart crashed. “What is going on,” she kept asking herself. Was it possible that James had an affair with the nanny, she wondered. But just the thought of him being unfaithful broke her world into a thousand pieces.

Midjourney

One evening, just as dinner was over, Oliver came closer to the woman and showed her his palm. The words, “Dad Lies,” were written on it.

As Oliver couldn’t speak duet to a rare condition, he was able to communicate in non-verbal ways. And now it turned out that Oliver, who was a highly observant child, noticed something she was obviously missing.

The woman decided not to confront her husband right away. She decided to wait and figure her husband’s secret.

One day, she returned home from work earlier and was stunned to see James there. He and Tessa was chatting in the kitchen, and the woman’s presence seemed to make them feel uneasy.

Midjourney

Days gone by and the woman decided to talk to her son about his dad’s secret. When she asked him about it, he just pointed to his briefcase, from which James never separated.

Hesitant about her next step, she decided to open the briefcase, but she was not ready for what that briefcase hid.

A bunch of papers from a hospital and the doctor’s office were neatly placed inside. As she went through them, the woman saw the words, “Stage 3,” “Aggressive treatment required,” and “Survival rate.”

“Rachel?” James’s voice came from behind her. “I didn’t want you to find out this way.”

Turning to him, tears already streaming down her face she uttered, “When were you planning to tell me you’re dying?”

James said he wanted to fight the disease without involving her and Oliver because he wanted to protect them.

“And what about Tessa?” the woman asked.

“Tessa figured my secret out and promised not to share it with you. She’s been helping and covering for me ever since.”

But now that the truth was out, the woman could stand by her husband’s side and help him battle the disease.

The following weeks were all bout doctors’ appointments and Tessa was there with the family every step of their way, offering her help and support.

Pexels

Oliver started drawing more than ever, it was obvious he could feel the tension between his mom and dad was now gone.

“I thought we’d never see him express himself,” James said. “But now he’s teaching us how to communicate better.”

As they were watching their child draw, he pointed his tiny palms towards them. The words “family” and “forever” were written on them, and the woman trusted her son’s words more than ever.

This experience only helped them bond even more.

Her daughter and son in law died but their kids saw them two years later

By

Georgia and her two grandchildren were spending some time at the beach. Ever since the little ones lost their mom and dad, it was Georgia who took care of them. She did all in her power to fulfill their every wish in order to ease their pain and diminish the grief that had settled in their tiny hearts.

Pexels

But that trip wasn’t a random one. A week prior, Georgia received an anonymous letter that read, “They are not really gone.” She had no idea what those words meant. Was someone pulling pranks on her? They couldn’t be possibly talking about her daughter Monica and her husband Peter. Georgia organized their funeral, although she wasn’t allowed to see their bodies after the fatal crash.

A feeling of unease affected her days. “Was there more to the story,” she could stop wondering.

At that moment, Georgia remembered that her daughter’s credit card was still active, so she called the bank to see if any transactions had been made during the two years Monica was dead.

Pexels

To her surprise, the bank informed her that a virtual card linked to the account had been used. It had been activated just a week before Monica’s death. With a mix of dread and curiosity, Georgia decided to investigate further.

Georgia was able to locate the place where the last transaction had been made. It was a peaceful beach not far from where they lived.

While the kids enjoyed the sunny day, Georgia was looking around in hopes of spotting a familiar face. And just as she convinced herself that she was simply delusional and that her daughter couldn’t possibly be alive and the bank had made a mistake, her grandson Andy shouted: “Grandma, look! That’s our mom and dad!”

The little boy kept pointing to the nearby coffee shop.

Pexels

The woman had Monica’s hairstyle, and the man shared Stephan’s limp. Georgia followed them at a distance and could hear them talking how much they missed their boys. The strangest thing of all was that they referred to each other as Emily and Anthony, not their real names.

Georgia felt the urge to ring the doorbell of the cottage her daughter and son-in-law entered in, but not before alerting the authorities.

When Monica saw her mother, she froze. She immediately started crying and begging her to forgive her. When Georgia demanded answers, her daughter explained that they were forced to fake their own deaths in order to escape a financial ruin. They believed the children would be better off without them.

Pexels

Georgia couldn’t believe what she was hearing. How could her own daughter be so cruel and abandoned her own children.

Monica and Stephen begged Georgia to let hem see the boys, and despite the anger she felt, she agreed.

However, just a few minutes later, the police arrived and arrested them.

Looking at her grandchildren, Georgia wasn’t sure if she made the right call when she alerted the authorities of her daughter’s and her son-in-law’s crime, but what she knew was that she would do anything to protect her grandchildren, even from their own parents.
