Soon after our boys moved to Hawaii, Gage became a part of our visits. We learned a lot about swooping from him in our two trips to Zephyrhills to watch Butters and Gage in action. There are so many wonderful memories. It is hard to realize that he has left us. Prayers for all who love him from Tony, Debbie, Daniel, Justin, Lauren, and Jonathan Martinez. You are in our hearts.
