They exemplified what hard work, dedication and community was by their daily walk in this world yet more so by their actions. The tragic event that took them from us Monday will not be the lasting memory; the lasting impact and impressionable moments they had on their families, friends and community will be. Thank you to the Conway community for your support during this challenging time.”Our hearts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of those so tragically taken. Although senseless evil acts of this kind are hard to comprehend, we grieve and heal together as a community.”
