Mila Rose Santana


 Mila Rose Santana was the 5-year-old sunshine whose innocent giggles and boundless wonder could melt the hardest heart, a Mobile cherub who chased waves at the beach and dreamed in colors only a child knows—now, in the soul-crushing void of her absence, the heart shatters, swept away alongside her beloved grandmother in the catastrophic floods along the Guadalupe River in central Texas on July 4, 2025, leaving a family and community drowning in grief for the tiny light who filled every moment with pure, unfiltered love.


Born to Camille Santana and Eddie Santana Jr., Mila was the adored granddaughter of Ileana and Eddie Santana Sr., a precious part of a close-knit Mobile family whose world revolved around faith, laughter, and togetherness. On a family trip to the Hill Country, the surging waters claimed Mila, her mother Camille (found July 😎, grandmother Ileana (found July 😎, and grandfather Eddie Sr. (found July 11), while her father survived the ordeal. The tragedy, part of floods that killed at least 120 and left over 160 missing, unfolded as their cabin was overtaken, turning a joyful getaway into unimaginable loss. Her aunt Jaimee Santana shared the family’s raw pain: “With a heart full of gratitude we received word that both Ileana Santana and Mila Santana have been located. Our family can now finally lay EVERYONE TO REST TOGETHER!”


The Santana family’s anguish echoes across Alabama, where neighbors and strangers alike rally with prayers and support, honoring Mila’s brief but vibrant life. As rescuers searched relentlessly, the community held vigil, finding solace in knowing Mila’s spirit—full of play and affection—touched so many. Memorial contributions can be directed to causes reflecting her family’s resilience, a testament to the love that binds them even in sorrow.


Mila’s legacy endures as a whisper of innocence and unbreakable family bonds, a call to cherish every giggle amid life’s fragility. Though the floods claimed her far too soon, her spirit lives in every wave chased, every hug shared, and the eternal love she inspired.

from: Kriss Odom 🚨*Graphic Content Warning  Wesley Davis has been charged with murder in the First Degree. No mother should have to hold her child as she is hooked up to machines that are tracking her last breaths. Ava Anne Marie Tabor was taken from this world. She didn’t lose her life, her life was taken from her, in the most vicious and cruel way.  Wesley Davis was watching Ava when she “wasn’t listening” as he stated, and he began to attack her. Yes you read that correctly. He lifted her frail 2 year old body up and threw her around the room for 30 minutes straight. Slamming her against walls, furniture, and anything else in sight. For 30 minutes she was brutally attacked by this animal.

Her brain died due to the amount of bleeding the trau...

Money For Nothing

      Did you think MAGA would just go away? Did the carefully constructed articles and main stream news spots make you believe that LBTGQ was 85% of the population? Did you concern yourself about which pronoun is correct when addressing a child? Congratulations! You will not leave anything of lasting value when your family drops you off at the graveyard!   All hit records have a meteoric rise. “ Money For Nothing ” sprang out of nowhere and within a week my own sister asked me if I’d heard that song and I knew exactly which song she was talking about. With his bare feet and truncated guitar style, Mark Knopfler cemented a melody into the public consciousness that would make Mozart roll over in his grave if it weren’t so overcrowded. Now, decades later, my grandchildren have never heard the song.   So what makes some ideas, movements, or sometimes simple statements survive the test of time while others become difficult to recall in less than a generation? And i...
