  4. So very sorry that I didn't make it to the services. I did try. I was there Thursday. Pacer meant so much to all the Jarboe family. He was always there for us. I had a great dream last Friday night. My dad and Pacer were standing at the top of a canyon, enjoying the beauty of the landscape. It gave me peace, hope it doest to you, too.
