This is the best summary I could come up with:
Bilawchuk lost her husband, Chris Novecosky, along with her nephew and niece on Saturday at Humboldt Lake, located about 115 kilometres east of Saskatoon.
Heather told CBC News that she saw the girls floating far away from the lakeshore and rushed in to get Bilawchuk's husband Chris and nephew Joe.
The family is preparing for Chris and Joe's funerals this Saturday in Saskatoon, and Ava's on Thursday in Humboldt.
For Ava's funeral, the family is asking people to wear bright colours and for children to bring a stuffed animal to cuddle.
Bilawchuk said she is "grateful and speechless" for the support the family has received, including GoFundMe campaigns.
Bilawchuk said she is comforted by messages on social media praising Chris and Joe as heroes who died trying to save others.
