Thank You ~ from the family of Ed Waggener



2018-10-20 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com.

With All Our Hearts ~ Thank You.

For every prayer, every card, letter, message, hug, picture, flower, gift and scholarship contribution surrounding the illness and death of Ed Waggener, his family will be forever grateful. Your generosity is written in our hearts, ready to be returned if you need us and to be passed forward at every opportunity.

Your outpouring of love has made for showers of blessings during this rainy fall of 2018 - a time we'll always recall having been so very unprepared to lose our husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin.

We will continue to work - he trained us well - and remember his leadership, his teaching, his rare take on life and unique outlook. These qualities will help us continue to smile and laugh and wonder and contribute to the greater good, as much as we can, as often as we can, for as long as we can.

With all our hearts ~ thank you,
Linda, Pen, Tom and Amy Waggener
Graham, Evan, Tillie and Hailey Waggener
Jean, Fay, Annette and Ralph Waggener
and his nieces, nephews and cousins

Letter - family of MaKayla Wasson thanks ACHS

By Becky Wasson

Our 14 year old daughter MaKayla Wasson (Currently attends ACHS) was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. Everyone in the community has shown us so much support and we couldn't be more thankful. One thing that has truly touched us was a picture today from the Adair County Middle School... this morning an eighth grade student, Gabby Norris, was so kind to provide our daughter with a quilt she brought and had the school gather and pray over for our sweet girl!!!

Our hearts were truly, truly touched by this and we couldn't be more proud of our school system and the children in it... We serve a mighty god!! We couldn't even begin to thank each and everyone for all their love and support during this difficult time!! - Becky Wasson
