CONWAY — They say we all die twice, the first time when we draw our last breath; the second when people stop mentioning our names.

Lest auld acquaintance be forgot, as 2023 begins, we here at the Sun pause to say the names of a few local residents whom we lost in 2022 who made a difference in their years of living here, contributing to the social fabric of the region. — Tom Eastman
