Condolences to the Lawler family. Peace to you and Brian during this difficult time.


Once again, the rain has hung the leaves with tears….RIP


suicide is more than twice as common as homicide nowadays.


Poor soul may have been high (or low) to do such a thing knowing now that he was a diver. Sad, Sad times.
