Our hearts are broken for Korey and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and all who loved Winter.
Kory and Family; We are heartbroken at the loss of Winter. He was such a sweet little boy. My granddaughter Hayden went to early Head start with him last year. She spoke of him often as her “boyfriend”. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayer for his family.
