Residents of Kerrville, Texas, have turned a stretch of fencing on Water Street into a 50-foot “Wall of Hope,” honoring those killed in last week’s flash flood along the Guadalupe River. The informal memorial, started by Miami-based artist Leo Soto—known for similar installations after national tragedies—has quickly filled with photographs, candles and flowers left by mourners. A candlelight vigil is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday at 615 Water Street. The Wall of Hope joins other tributes emerging across the Hill Country. At nearby Nimitz Lake, Dallas artist Roberto Marquez has erected individual white crosses for almost every victim, continuing a practice he began after the Uvalde school shooting. Community volunteers have helped expand both memorials as search crews and families grapple with the flood’s aftermath. Support has also come from Edna-based SoulShine Industries, where owner Trey Ganem is donating custom caskets at no charge to bereaved families. Local businesses in North Texas are pledging portions of their sales to relief efforts, underscoring the region’s broad response to one of the state’s deadliest flooding events in recent years.
