One year after flash flooding at Camp Mystic took 28 lives, three fathers are sharing how their young daughters’ private faith continues to lift their families.Speaking on "Saturday in America," Ryan DeWitt, Wade Lytal and Cole Naylor shared how their daughters' deep-rooted faith has sustained them through tragedy.DeWitt and Lytal said they found journals their daughters left behind filled with Bible verses, prayers and messages to God, bringing them comfort as they grieved."We knew that she was deeply rooted in her faith, but she wasn't outward about it or braggadocious about it.
She just felt it.She felt very deeply," Ryan DeWitt said of his daughter Molly, who was 9 years old when she died in the floods."She just had the biggest heart, and we taught her as much as we could, but there was certainly something else at play, and that was her faith, and it was comforting.
As difficult as those days were and still are, it's comforting to know how close she was to God," he added.DEVASTATED MOTHER BLAMES SOFT-ON-CRIME POLICIES AFTER CAREER CRIMINAL IS CHARGED IN SON’S DEATHComposite photo showing Kellyanne Lytal, Molly DeWitt and Wynne Naylor, three of the young victims of the Camp Mystic flood in July 2025.(Photos provided by the Lytal, DeWitt, and Naylor families)The fathers each recalled moments when they learned more about the depth of their daughters’ faith.
DeWitt shared that Molly kept notebooks under her bed filled with hand-drawn crosses and Bible verses, including one page that read, "I can do anything through Christ."Wade Lytal recalled entering the bedroom of his 8-year-old daughter, Kellyanne, weeks after the tragedy and pulling open a drawer to find a journal entry that read, "Jesus I love you.Thank you for dying on the cross for all of our sins.""I think that's the most important responsibility that we have as parents is making sure that, you know, our children are raised to love the Lord," Lytal said.YOUNG TEXAS CAMP SURVIVOR DESCRIBES HARROWING...
