A North Carolina man will forever be haunted by the loving words his wife screamed before she was killed by flooding caused by Hurricane Helene.
Only seconds after Jamie Guinn saw his wife alive, the mother of four was taken by the raging waters that crushed their home.
And then, their 8-year-old son, who saw his mom swept away, uttered the heartbreaking words, “Daddy, I think mommy’s gone.”
Jamie and Melissa Guinn were only a few weeks from celebrating their 10-year wedding anniversary. According to Melissa’s sister Elizabeth Hensley, the couple, who met 17 years ago, shared a love “you would only ever find in the movies.”
“We are so thankful for [Jamie] being a part of our family and we are so grateful for how much you loved [Melissa]. Because of you she really do get to live her long song,” Hensley writes in a Facebook message dedicated to her sister’s husband.
“She is so beautiful. He loves her more [than] anything,” Hensley writes in a separate post of Melissa and Jamie, days after she learned her beloved sister was dead.
