Recovery efforts for 9-month-old Conrad Sheils to continue Monday
UPPER MAKEFIELD, Pa. (CBS) -- The recovery efforts continue Monday for a 9-month-old killed in last week's devastating floods in Bucks County. It comes as the community gathered to remember the victims.
After a weeklong search, 2-year-old Mattie Sheils was located, but officials said the search is far from over for her baby brother, 9-month-old Conrad.
Meanwhile, the community continues to heal from the deadly flood.
Hundreds of people -- from family friends and community residents -- lit candles Sunday night at the 9-11 Memorial Garden of Reflection. Names of the seven victims who died in last week's flooding were called, ending with 9-month-old Conrad.
Survivors, along with first responders, were also honored.
For the first time, survivor Dahlia Galindez -- Mattie's and Conrad's grandmother and mother of Katie Seley -- spoke in front of an emotional crowd. She shared what she and her family with through.
"We got out of the car. The water was up to my shin. I took a few steps, and I was swept under the guard rail, along with my daughter Katie and our grandchildren," Galindez said. "So, one minute it was inches deep, a minute later it was overhead. As I got into the water, I was pulled under. I was eventually able to hold onto a tree and I think that was my only injuries, miraculously enough. I have a few bruises and a few scraps. I guess I get to stay here for a while. I kind of wanted to be with Katie and the children."
The search for Conrad will continue Monday if the weather permits.
