Helen, my heart goes out to you because I know in a very real way what you are going thru. Lisa and family were broken hearted because they loved both you and Warren. Kaylyn was so sad yesterday at church. Happy they will be with you on Monday if God wills. May you find peace in knowing Warren is now with his Heavenly Father. Love

Ever since I became involved with the Retiree Activities Office at McConnell AFB, Warren was one of the can-do volunteers. I feel blessed having had the privilege of knowing him. May you find great comfort knowing he is with our Lord.
