Both victims were inside an RV at the time of the flood - which lies in the Cameron Peak Fire burn scar.

Family and friends are now raising money to help Schilling's husband. They say Schilling was a teacher in the Jefferson County Public School District. The online fundraiser adds Lily was a student at Deer Creek Middle School.
