The family of a young mother and her five-month-old son killed by a falling tree at a Vancouver Island campground a week ago say they are “heartbroken” by the tragedy.

In a statement provided through the Comox Valley RCMP, the family thanks emergency responders and others on the beach at Cumberland Lake Park Campground who tried to save the pair on July 31.
