I live close to where Taylen was lost to us. I have become friends with Marie and her cause. I have lived in Georgetown 50 years and have countless experiences with lions, especially since I have raised different animals most of time I have lived here on my property. I have suffered depredation constantly over the years including from lions. It has been getting worse the last 5 years. I wed also involved with Barbara’s death with search and rescue. I was present when her husband and children received the news of her attack and death by a lion. It was the saddest thing zi ever experienced, seeing their grief and horror. I will never forget it. The article you wrote and the obituary have deeply moved me. Thank you.
