Virginia Hollis honored by local communities while returning to final resting place

HUNT — Virginia Hollis, 8, of Bellville, was one of the many children who were swept away during the mas- sive flooding of the Guadalupe River at Camp Mystic in Kerr County on July 4. Hollis was celebrated with an outpouring of love from communities along the Interstate 10 East corridor from San An- tonio to her hometown and final resting place in Bellville.

Though many did not know Hollis, those with young ones and those with grandkids could only imagine the heartbreak of losing a child, while others knew what the parents of Hollis were going through.

People along the procession corridor lined up to pay respects to Hollis and her parents, Lars and Lacey Elick Hollis.
