WOODFORD, Wis. â At the same time a family is mourning the loss of a 7-year-old girl who drowned over the weekend, theyâre working to prevent something like that from happening again.
âLeah was very special,â said her aunt, Trisha Foster. âA one-of-a-kind girl.â
What happens to one person ripples outward to many.
âThere were over, I think, 150 of them out here that night until we found here at 2 a.m.,â Foster said, sending her thanks to all the search crews and volunteers.
She said Leah and friends werenât supposed to be playing at the boat launch that day, and that the 7-year-old got taken by the current when she and another child went swimming in the river.
