Re: Prayers for Buster please?

["Deb & Boyd McFail" <bdmcfail@alaska.net>]

Thank you Patti and thank you everyone for thinking of us here today. Deb 
and Larry found him just about noontime here. He was about 100 feet from
where Deb and I searched last night but we just couldn't see him in the dark
with our flashlights. It does look now as though he was chasing rabbits and
his heart gave out. He looked as if he simply laid himself down next to a
tree in the moss, and died. They have closure now, although it sure is hard.
