And read the tragic story, of a father and his two sons who drownded near Bega whilst fishing
It reads;
Their dream ended on Tuesday evening in the rough seas off Tathra wharf when the popular 28 year old dived into the ocean to try and save his beloved sons, four year old Riley and 15 month old Travis.
The boys were fishing with their Dad, a keen angler, like they did three times each week after he finished work as a butcher shop in Bega.
It was about 8pm and Riley was looking after his little brother, who was in a pram up against a small safety ledge along the wharf. Suddenly it toppled over and fell 5m into the water, taking both brothers with it.
Moments after the splash, witnesses heard Mr ONeill , a strong swimmer desperatly crying for help as he dived into the 2m seas to find his boys.
All three perished a father and his two boys. This has really choked me up, the boys mother was at work in Woolworths when she was informed of what had happened.
How do you deal with losing your whole family in one night, in a moment life can change us forever
I cant even begin to comprehend what this woman/finace/mother is going through and how on earth you get through it.
RIP: Little Riley, Travis and their Dad Shane.
