During the holidays, Marius Brustade went to visit his mother, Lisbeth Neras – and both were in the area that landslides occurred on New Year’s Eve.
On Saturday, rescuers managed to find the 54-year-old mother who died in a landslide.
The next day, the son is also found.
Family grief after the death of Lisbeth and Marius
The family has now issued a statement in which they tell about the grief.
– Yesterday we received the overwhelming message that our much loved Lisbeth and Marius had died in an avalanche in Geyserdrum. We finally hoped that a miracle would bring us back to them. We would like to give them just one hag.
– Marius, you were very happy with your infectious smile. You were a role model for your brothers and a son you could only dream of. You were the cornerstone of the family and were friends everywhere.
