A Sad Goodbye

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Those Corwins are now in Bakersfield for the day to mourn the loss of our dear friends’ child. As a former lifeguard I never imagined a day where I would be attending the funeral of a pool accident victim. It shows that accidents can happen when we least expect and can happen to anyone. My heart is broken for Stevie and Paul. Cale and I love them dearly and hate to hear that this has happened to their oldest boy.

A memorial fund has been set up for those who know them or even those who don’t but just want to support them in their time of loss.
