"Knowing you’re not going to see your neighbors no more. Knowing that that baby soon to be a year old in February is now dead. And one of the little girls, she was so pretty. Both of them was just beautiful little girls," said Young of the Besic family.
She says they were the kind of neighbors you dream of having, lost in a nightmare of a storm. "I wouldn’t have traded them neighbors for nobody," said Young. "The pain’s just now really set in on me because I had blocked everything out. What we’ve been through, unless they’ve been through this they don’t know what we’re going through."
There's no word yet if any of the fatalities have funeral arrangements in place.
