Corey: Victims and Daughter

corey: Other victims included a 30-year-old man and his 6-year-old son and father-in-law; a doctor and his daughter who died in the arms of her brother, a young mother asleep with her 3-year-old daughter as her 10-year-old nephew slumbered nearby; and a woman and her 89-year-old husband of more than 50 years who celebrated his birthday the day before the disaster, according to Metro News. Here are their stories and those of others in the community where victims ranged from captains of industry to the people who manicure their lawns Sisters Sawyer Corey, 12, and Morgan Christine Corey, 25, were sleeping when the mud smashed into their home. An immigrant from Mexico and a pair of sisters were among the 20 people killed in devastating mudslides that brought tragedy and sorrow to the idyllic coastal community of Montecito, California. Sawyer was found dead earlier in the week. As with so many other families, we know that as their house came down around them our girls clung to each other as best they could while being washed away, their brother Taylor Owens wrote on a fundraising web page. Her sister's body was found Saturday in mud and debris. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
