I was so sad to hear of the death of my old classmate and friend, Duane Sawyer. We had several classes together, from Cordley Elementary through Lawrence (KS) High School. He was always kind, cheerful, hardworking, and soft-spoken. May his soul rest in peace. My deepest condolences to all who mourn his passing. Hold on to Jesus!
