Tears of pain for the loss of our fellow Social Worker…wish I had known him.
Thoughts with the family and colleagues who mourn our fellow social worker Army Lt. Col. Cabrera – as we also remember North Carolina Social Worker Charles Keith Springle, Navy Commander (d. May 2009 Iraq) and Social Worker Gabe Zimmerman. Honorable caregivers and advocates, all.
