The 8-year-old twin sisters from Dallas died at Camp Mystic, the all-girls Christian summer camp where at least 27 people were killed. According to ABC News, their 14-year-old sister, Harper, survived the flooding.

“It has been an unimaginable time for all of us,” David Lawrence Jr., their grandfather, said, per ABC. “Hanna and Rebecca gave their parents John and Lacy and sister Harper, and all in our family, so much joy. They and that joy can never be forgotten.”

Julian Ryan’s sister, Connie Salas, said the 27-year-old died while trying to help his family escape their trailer home in Ingram, Texas.

According to Salas, he and his fiancée awoke to fast-rising water inside their trailer home. The couple got their young children to safety, but Ryan became stuck inside when the bedroom door did not open.

He then tried to break a window and suffered a severe cut to his arm, Salas said. He lost consciousness before help arrived. Salas said Ryan’s last words to his fiancée were: “I love you. I’m so sorry.”

“He didn’t die in vain,” Salas told ABC News. “He died a hero.”
