Wardell's employee lost home and family members in Fire

It is with deep sadness that we announce the deaths of our employee's family members.
This morning, at 5 am, David Williams, an employee for our business, lost his home and two children in a house fire.David and Violet's home was completely destroyed, and they lost two of their three children in the fire. Their third child and Violet's father is in intensive care with severe burns.

My wife and I have started a relief fund at Commerce Bank to help the family financially in their time of grief.

We ask our community to consider a donation to help this family.
Donations can be made by going to any Commerce Bank and make checks payable to David Williams and/or Violet Watson."
Kathy Coley of Springfield Southwest Banking Center is the Point of Contact and help set up the fund.

We also ask everyone to keep David and Violet in your prayers.
