Parents speak out

Re-warmed in the ambulance.

In a follow up tonight -- abigael bellow's parents are speaking out after a body-- that's believed to be their daughter's -- was recovered in the willamette river.

As we've reported --- officials found a woman's body in the river on friday afternoon -- about three fourths of a mile from where abigael disappeared while swimming on july 22nd.

Looking back... they say -- their daughter was full of joy and always ready for an adventure.

"thats where life changed for her.

She knew that the journey was what she needed.

Thats how she adventured and that's she lived life, and i believe that's how she go brought to where she is now."

Here is a photo of abigael shared my her mother, as she embarked on a trip to costa rica...without an inch of fear in her mind.

They tell us abigael wanted people to*love more and*stop and*live in the present.

Something -- her*parents say -- is*exactly what everyone has been doing*ever*since.

The family is also working with officials at hendricks park and clearwater lake to create a special spot -- where their daughter will be honored.
