MORENCI, MI (WTOL) - It has been almost six months since three young brothers went missing in Morenci, Michigan.
Tuesday night, their grandparents--sitting behind enlarged pictures of their beloved grandchildren: Alexander, Andrew, and Tanner--urged the community to keep an eye out for the boys, even if hope may have faded.
Bev and Don Zuvers don't necessarily want another large scale search, just something that may turn up evidence.
"I said until they show me some physical evidence that they are not with us, they are out there," Don said.
Bev says she may be the only family member who no longer feels they are alive.
She recalled a dream she had back in December, telling her the family will be reunited, just not right now.
"Andrew crawled up in my lap on my big rocker where I held him many times and he would hug me and he said, 'Grandma we have been staying with Uncle Bob. We didn't know him very well but we know him now.' My brother passed away five years ago August. I feel that that was God telling me the boys are safe, they're just not safe here on Earth," Bev recalled.
The family wanted to remind the public of the $60,000 reward, but they have a message for the boys' father, John Skelton, who's in jail, charged with their kidnapping.
"I believe, John, that you know what you did with them. The hurt and the pain is already inflicted. You can't make it any worse by telling us where they're at," Bev said.
The family is relying on its faith to get through each day. But they feel it will be even harder this Sunday for the boys' mother, Tanya. She'll spend her first Mother's Day without her three boys.
