Sympathies and condolences to all. No words.
I just want to rewind 2020. We’re so sorry.
Just horrific and beyond unfair for all concerned. I pray to any god that’s listening that the little puppy didn’t suffer.
Every parent’s worst nightmare.
If they need anything. If there’s a gofundme let us know.
We’ll do that, Siobhan, thank you…

It was so nice when we were all off the road there for a while. We did no damage.

I’ll never be able to drive that way again.
Tragic beyond words. The family has our prayers.

Why wasn’t he air lifted? Also wondering why they didn’t take him to Oakland Children’s Hospital? Maybe John Muir is more equipped??
I miss you so much Leo ❤️ Fly high angel ?❤️
I can’t believe you’re gone. It feels like it was just yesterday I was at your apartment downstairs and we were gonna go get ice cream. My parents didn’t tell me until a few months ago. I miss you so much. Fly High ♥️?
