Body found in Lake Waccamaw, crews search for third teen

Hi. The family of William Mills will be accepting Donations at any BB&T location as of Monday afternoon. This will go towards funeral expenses. Thank you so much for everything, we are grateful for your help and prayers.

Our God does thing's some time's that is painful, But I'll defend My God by saying that everything happen's for a reason. It's also God's way of balancing the scale's of life. If everyone lived from tragedies, then where would we all live? People already complain all the time that price's of most thing's are to High, ( housing, fuel, and food, ect.) Could you imagine if there was no process of balance? I for one believe that there is a higher power. However, I'm not saying that I don't have any concern for what has happened to these families, my heart goes out to them for their tragic lost. I myself, lost a brother when he was only 12 year's old. I still miss and think of him today. However, I believe in my heart that God had a better plan for him and one day when I pass away I truly believe in my heart that I will see him again. It's these belief's that make us strong and keep's us going on, fighting for our own lives and trying to survive in a corupt world that is full of hatred, war's, natural disaster's, and yes, even tragedies.

My heart, prayers, and deepest sympathy go out to the Clayter-Marvin family and to the Mills family. May God be with you and comfort you through your time of sorrow. To the young man that survived I would like to say that my heart and prayers are with you through your time of grief also. I know that it may not seem like it now, but everything happens for a reason and sometimes we may not always know the answers. I am really upset at the way that some people are argueing and fussing about beliefs and what may or may not have caused this tragic accident. These families need all the support that they will be able to find through this time. Argueing about things will not and is not going to make the events that took place go away. Also no matter what was taking place (drinking or otherwise) it is not going to change the outcome of what has happened. Although I would like to add that I feel that this young men just made a mistake and who are we to point figures or judge them in any way. I think sometimes we all get so caught up on what was going on that we sometimes forget what actually has happened. What has happened here is that there are 2 families that are having to lay to rest two young men that they loved with all their hearts, and another young man that is now left to wonder why he was the lucky one. I am from the area where this took place and I believe that people can come together and help all that are involved in this situation. No matter what their beliefs are and no matter what they think may or may not caused this. I can only hope that somehow these families will find a way to get through there pain and suffering and that the friends of these young boys will find away to help them get through this tragic time. My prayers are with you all and may GOB Bless and Keep you all.

My prayers are with these familes in their time of loss and tragedy.

I live at lake waccamaw and know the family very well i will keep them in my hearts and in my prayers as for the people that are fighting this is not the time or the place to be doing it

I live at lake waccamaw and knowing the clayter-marvin family and where this tragedy took place brings tears to my eyes. I do not know them personally but keep your hearts open and even though they are not with you they will forever live in your heart! I will keep all three of the families in my prayers and in my hearts.

Sonya, I am so sorry to hear about this. You will be in my prayers. As for the other comments about God. This is is not the time or the place for bickering.

Sorry about the lost if i could i would be looking. i will keep the boys in my prayer. I hope the parents of the missing child will find him i really dont know him but i go to east columbus and i see him around sometimes. But anyways i hope you find him. And for the parents child that has past away i am sorry. Keep your head up. His spirt is gone but he will always be with you in your hearts.

I live close to the lake but haven't heard any new updates on the situation today. I know it is very cold out for the volunteers helping. I am sending positive thoughts their way and thinking of the families and loved ones.

I am sorry for the loss of these families but the ONLY way to get through this is to have a relationship with God and rely on him to help you through this tragedy because everything happens for a reason. The reason some of these comments are so bitter is because these people haven't accepted God and are not happy themselves and want noone else to be happy. It is so sad to know that people are like this. These families are in a depressing state right now and negative terms are not the way to deal with this matter.

There will always be some type of tragedy in everyone's life. God will give you strength and guidance you need to get through it if you ask him too. A message to Sad, maybe you should consider prayer to help guide you through whatever has caused you to lose your belief, if you ever had belief. May God Bless all the families who were involved in the tragedy at Lake Waccamaw. Our prayers are with you, and you to Sad. God Bless

Wow, if your god was involved in this in any way, then you have a very ill spirited god. Why do people always say god will get you through this? He obviously wasn't there when the 3 boys needed them. I feel very bad for the families of the boys who didn't make it. This is a horrible tragedy, but please, don't think for a minute that god is going to make it any better or less painful.
