RIP. May God comfort the loved ones during this difficult time. We were out on Cape May waters yesterday and shocked at how many bouys were barely visible until you were up on them.

An idea may be to have blinking solar LED lights on them. I’m sure they’ll take your comment into consideration.

I think it’s safe to say no one in the TLs community would ask that of the children who died, please go somewhere else and troll,your comment is not welcome. RIP little ones.
