“So blessed for the daily hugs from sweet Aubrey, and the honor to teach Walker,” wrote Kirstin Schwader.

Tammy Strickland called it “heartbreaking,” saying, “What a privilege it was to know this wonderful family.”

Maci Bullard, who taught both children in kindergarten, said, “My heart is broken over this tragic loss.”
