Wally & Auggie's Story
Walter Francis Conner and Augustus Marshall Conner (Wally & Auggie), identical twin brothers, were born sleeping on Easter Sunday, April 17, 2022. They are deeply missed and loved more than words can say. Their passing has impacted hundreds of lives and their absence is felt every waking day. After suffering this unimaginable loss, Wally & Auggie's mom became determined to love her sons in the best way that she can in this life, by continuing to speak their names and encouraging other families of loss to love their child(ren) out loud.
Wally and Auggie, this is For You.
