I don't usually post in threads like this, because I usually don't have the words. I still don't, but I had to express my sadness, and my awe.

A moving story of bravery and putting others before self. It is good to read that the local FD will send an honor guard.

A small lad with a very, very big heart. His passing is everyone's loss. Rest in peace and hold on to your grandfather as you did in life...

This one had me in tears. May he never be forgotten. I could only wish I was half as brave and selfless as this little hero. :salute:
