Children's Animal Farm mourns llama

A beloved llama at the Seaway Kiwanis Children's Animal Farm in Sarnia will be missed.

The Seaway Kiwanis Club announced on Facebook that Piper died unexpectedly on Friday.

"This will hit all of our farm friends as hard as it has hit us. Devastation and shock. We are all grieving as well as our farm family," read the Facebook post. "We have no words as of right now, except rest in peace our friend."

As a result, the Children's Animal Farm was closed on Saturday.

Several comments poured in on social media shortly after the sad news was shared.

One person wrote, "I loved going to see Piper, she always made me smile."

Another comment read, "Piper, you were the best part of so many days for my kids. We love you."

Several photos of the adored llama were also shared through Facebook comments.
