These Poor Families

The now infamous boating trip.

The family of missing boater Marquis Cooper is refusing to give up hope. Father Bruce Cooper insists his son is sill waiting to be rescued."In my heart of hearts I believe he's out somewhere there just waiting to be found," Bruce Cooper told journalists Wednesday afternoon.

The Coast Guard gave up its search sunset Tuesday with confidence there are no more survivors from Marquis' boat, recovered late Wednesday.

I hope that somehow, some way, the family members accept what has happened.

It's so awful because you need that closure, sad to say.

And now they're always going to be hoping and waiting.

And bless the Coast Guard, it's not easy for them either.
