I enjoyed working with Logan for many years. I heard him speak of his children many times. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Sorry to hear of Ligon’s death. I know he is happy to have joined Reba in just a few months. I have only known them for a short time, but feel in love with both of them. Such a sweet couple. I will not be attending the funeral because of all the sickness going around, but my thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.
