Cile’s parents, CiCi and Will Steward, are now sharing their grief, their gratitude, and a message for the teams still out searching. Here is their full statement:
“It has been an excruciating month of grief, loss and waiting for news of our precious Cile. We are shattered by this tragedy but we are also filled with tremendous gratitude for the outpouring of support as we navigate the unimaginable.
To the brave search and recovery crews who have been working tirelessly to find Cile and bring her home: there aren’t words sufficient to express our thanks. Your dedication means everything to our family and your continued efforts give us hope that we may soon be able to bring our baby home and begin to heal.
Please don’t give up on our girl.
To our families, friends and community: your love, support and prayers have been a lifeline. We are forever grateful for every word of kindness and gesture of support. We could not walk through these difficult times without you.
To our Cile Bug: our love for you is endless and boundless. We feel you everywhere and are thankful for every single moment of your brief and beautiful life. We will miss you every day until we meet again, sweet girl.
With love,
CiCi and Will Steward”
Cile’s family is holding onto hope, and asking others to do the same. If you’re in the area, keep looking. If you’re online, keep sharing her photo. Every effort matters. 💔
