Bartcop........ [View all]

This week marks the one year anniversary of Bartcop's passing. I cried like a baby when he died. I make this post in his honor. Bart, you are missed and loved. We so need your input right now. You my friend would have a field day with all that goes on. Your sides would ache with laughter at the stupid that surrounds us.

Thank you for helping us to keep on keepin' on at the beginning of what has turned out to be some of the darkest days in history.

My best to Mrs. B. and all who miss and loved you! Peace, Kim
