It saddens me to no end to read so many sarcastic and almost vicious remarks on here regarding this tragedy.
This young woman lost her ENTIRE family in a matter of minutes. She is only 18 years old. The BEST part of her young life was just beginning and now who knows what hardships await her or how long it will take for her to even remotely recover from this.
Other than the obvious loss of her loved ones, if she had college plans, then that will most likely have to be put on hold. If she was looking forward to beginning her first year on her own, now she will be left to sort out memorials, burials or cremations, wills and financial issues, housing and utility matters, all while she is dealing with what is most likely a suffocating amount of grief and sorrow.
This is something no one should ever have to go through, but if it is the hand that life has dealt her, then the very least that she deserves is our sympathy, respect and prayers. If you are incapable of offering that then maybe just keep your pitiful remarks to yourself, because it speaks more about your own lack of character than it does this family.
I personally knew the family, and geddie extremely well. Ive read so many of these news updates and comments on them, and who ever would say that the family is stupid should seriously think about the love and courage it took to go out into those waters not once, but twice, he was a ******* warrior, and everyone who mocks his death should go to hell and get ****** by satan, you are evil and have no heart.
I think he loved his dog very much. He seemed like a wonderful kid. I am sad for Olivia. She is a beautiful girl. It was a freak accident. Nothing more and nothing less than that! I wish Olivia the best. I think you are lucky to have known the family!
One of the top 5 dumbest ways to die. So sad. Nothing noble about this death. You have to be balanced and there is no equality of human life to any pet. I don't believe in abusing them but c'mon people, human life trumps every time.
Do you have any compassion? You must be sick in the head, and that goes for everyone else making such ignorant, insensitive comments. I hope you get what you deserve.
ohgoodnesswow says:Keep in mind that every one of us reading the story sees the situation with hindsight; a benefit not afforded to those lost.

Not true, sorry. When they saw the dog fighting a strong undertow, a thinking person would have realized that they would be subject to the same force if they went in.......
10 foot surf and cold water. You'd have to be a moron not to realize that's a dangerous situation. The ocean doesn't care if you're trying to do a good deed. Well, hopefully the dog will get adopted by a smarter family.
The people who make the Darwin comments are seriously sociopathic. People make mistakes - those who make mistakes driven by love (in this case trying to save a beloved pet) just made a mistake. The Darwin commentors are 1) callous, 2) judgmental, & 3) weird. They are like people that show up after an accident to gawk - not out of any desire to help or show concern. I would personally like to see each and every one of them on the day they or someone they care about (if that is possible to them) makes a mistake like this and suffers because of it. That is because only then will they understand. They are presently incapable of empathy.
