“He is drawn to the water. The minute he comes out, that’s the first thing that he wants to do. He wants to go in the water. He’s just without any fear. He’s walking right into it,” she stated.
For her, the fence value is part the associated fee of a funeral and the fee of having peace of thoughts.
