Dear God. So sad. Thank you for his name and age.
So young. Heartbreaking. Prayers for his family and for his soul. May God forever hold him dear.
Squaw Peak precint is huge, it’s about 40 square miles. It’s basically central Phoenix from Thomas to Dunlap and 64th St to 27th Avenue.
RIP.
The dog will have the flavor of refried beans in it’s mouth for weeks. Wonder if this gave the dog gas?
on facebook an old high school chum asked for a prayer request for the family. Family friend of my school chum. I very much hate reading news like this and finding out someone I know knew someone involved. Happens way too much lately. :(
Oh I am so sorry. I’ve been praying for that family most of the day. That poor young woman, and those babies!
