so sad to see Dutchies picture in this way. He was fun guy, never had a bad word to say about anyone. Always wanted to know if "the bear" had been at our house yet, just things I will miss talking to him about at "Beagles" for breakfast. It gives me great comfort to know we will see him again in God's glory.
