*Trooper Walker, many years ago you responded to my call for assistance, and for that I’m thankful. I truly wish I could have repaid you in kind, yesterday, when it was you who needed help. Your bright smile never failed to light up a room, and it will be sorely missed by everyone.
R.I.P. Blue
I am also sorry for your loss, Lee. How sad. Thanks for sharing a bit about him with us. From your description I pictured him smiling though he isn’t in the photograph.
Very senseless. Sorry for your loss Lee
Sorry for your loss, Lee. It is difficult when you know them. More so when it is senseless.
