Reunion with Lost Ultrasound Photo Brings Hope Amid Texas Flood Devastation

Amidst the destruction caused by severe flooding in Texas, a heartfelt story of hope and community support has emerged. A mother from Kerrville, whose family’s belongings were swept away in the floodwaters, was recently reunited with a cherished ultrasound picture of her daughter Willow, which she believed was lost forever.

Her ultrasound image, housed in a frame in their garage, was carried away during the early hours of July 4. The photo, which was in a white distressed frame with yellow stripes, was discovered about 10 miles away, in Center Point, by 22-year-old volunteer Roger Danish, while aiding in cleanup efforts. Danish and his sister drove three hours from Berclair to return the precious keepsake to the Frondorf family.

The mother, Lacy Frondorf, expressed deep emotion upon reclaiming the photo. “She’s an incredible child — strong, beautiful, smart, and sweet,” she said. She shared that the photo had not been digitized before the flood, making its recovery all the more meaningful. “Looking at it gives hope, peace, and love. It helps us keep fighting,” she added.

The floodwaters recently recounted by Frondorf have left a trail of destruction, with her property on higher ground spared from the inundation but still littered with debris and flooded belongings. The family found several lost items, including life jackets and even their beloved rescue pig, Mohawk, who survived despite fears he drowned.

Frondorf’s community response was swift. Marlena, a volunteer with the local fire department, posted a plea on Facebook for help in locating the photo owner, which quickly led to contact with Frondorf. The reunion highlighted the resilience and compassion of Texas residents, who have been working tirelessly in the aftermath of the historic flooding that claimed 134 lives and left dozens missing.

Despite the devastation, the Frondorf family remains grateful for the kindness of neighbors and volunteers. “When someone finds an ultrasound picture, it’s a glimpse of hope and love,” Frondorf reflected. “That keeps us going.”
