Georgia Department of Public Safety shared a photo Wednesday afternoon on their Facebook page showing two troopers visiting Savannah, the 3-year-old daughter of Trooper Tyler Parker, who has been recovering from the March 19 crash.
Trooper Parker was driving his personal vehicle when he was involved in a single-car crash. First responders believe Parker's truck hydroplaned as a line of powerful storms raced through the area.

He was laid to rest over the weekend in a ceremony attended by Governor Nathan Deal, more than a hundred of his fellow troopers, and several hundred more friends and family.
In the photo shared Wednesday, Savannah appears all smiles as she is flanked by two troopers, a Chick-fil-A cow, and holding a coloring book. No word on when she will be released from the hospital.
