My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Nic Shaffer, the 12 year old little boy who drown after slipping or falling into Mud Creek, while with his Mother and Sister. His body was found on Sunday and positively identified. I can’t even begin to express just how sorry I am for this family’s tragic loss.

Please keep Nic and his family in your thoughts and prayers. No one is to blame for this tragic accident and this could have happened to any one of us. Please hug your children tonight and never, ever take them for granted.
