Tragedy in Gatesville

This event happened within 25 miles of here. Tragic,
touching and insightful.

Hello Everyone.

I just wanted to pass this information along to each of you
so you know what a truly compassionate and caring man we have in
President Bush.
My first cousin, Shawn, and his wife, Suzanne, and
daughter, Laramie, lost their 6 year old son, Sam, in a drowning accident this
past Saturday (March 6th), outside Gatesville. They all live within a few
miles of the President's place in Crawford TX.

Sam and a young friend of his were walking around a tank when
the mud gave way and Sam fell in the tank. The tank is a spring fed tank,
and Sam was sucked under the water into a "sink hole" where the spring
came into the tank. His little friend tried to get him out but was unable to reach
him, so he ran about 200 yards to his house and told his grandmother. The
grandmother called 911 then went to the tank, but was unable to even
see Sam.

Sam's father and a volunteer fireman arrived first and began
diving into the tank but were unable to locate Sam (I believe they said
the water was about 10 feet deep). The Deputy Sheriff that received the
911 call was at the entrance to President Bush's ranch when the call
came in.
He told the Secret Service agents at the gate what was
happening and they, in turn, radioed the ranch house. President Bush
told them to "Go - take all the men and equipment you need and just go".
He also sent his personal physician and his helicopter over to the tank.

Sam was finally located and pulled from the water by one of
the Secret Service agents (I believe there were 5 agents there all total).
There was a faint pulse but they could not revive little Sam. President
Bush's doctor began working on him and they loaded him into the
Presidential helicopter and took him to Hillcrest Hospital in Waco.
The doctors there worked on him for awhile, but he had been under
water for 45 minutes, so there was really no hope for his recovery.
And, had he survived, he would never have been the same.

Sam was truly a unique little boy who lived life to the
fullest. And he loved the fact that "George Bush, the President" had
chosen to live so close to his house. When the family went to the
funeral home in Gatesville on Sunday to make the arrangements,
they were told everything had been paid for by an anonymous donor.
After much "detective" work, it is believed that President Bush is that
anonymous donor.

I just wanted all of you to hear this story so you know what a
true gentleman our President is. And I ask that you pray for my family as
they deal with this tragedy. And, lastly, please pray for our country and
President Bush as he attempts to hold it all in place.

Don't ever forget to tell everyone close to you and possibly,
some of those not so close, how much you love them. Tell them everyday
because life is short and very unpredictable.

I love each of you.

I called the Gatesville Messenger to verify the story. It is true that the little boy died as described in the story, but the rest of the story is completely false. (Gatesville is near Crawford.) The family's grief has been deeply exacerbated by the abuse of their son's tragic death. They have had been having to deal with explaining away something this trivial in their time of grief.

These people will stop at nothing. Using the tragic death of a precious child to promote a political agenda. How vile can these people get?
