Kerrville memorial continues to grow as community's sorrow deepens

Survivors of the catastrophic flooding in the Texas Hill Country are honoring the people who died on the July 4 weekend.

As more bodies are recovered, a memorial wall in downtown continues to grow.

Adorned with flowers, photographs and toys, a simple chain-link fence in downtown Kerrville has become a gathering place for people to reflect and support each other.

Geraldine Granado spends her days volunteering at the memorial. She said the wall has become a place to grieve and to find peace, and more people visit every day.

"I see that some people are adding stuff to the wall. So I think it’s important. I think it’s very important that we do this. It’s our way to say goodbye, maybe?"

She said she expects the memorial to keep growing.
