I lost my mom last may and I know it's hard to accept the different way of life.
But I'm so sorry about Wayne.
I'm sending you prayers.
Our sincere sympathy to the family of Wayne. Our hearts go out to you all. RIP
Kathy,
So sorry for your loss. We weren't able to see you often but always was had a great time with Wayne. He was a good man. Just looked at many of the pictures from our 2010 family reunion where Wayne had taken most all the pictures of all the family attending. If you would like any of those pictures I would be happy to share them with you.
Kathy,
I am so sorry for your loss. Wayne was such a good man to you. I would always enjoy coming out to your home for lunch, sitting in the swings, having conversations with you and Wayne with a few cocktails . Wayne will be missed.
My sincere and deepest condolences to you and your family.

I'll always remember the exciting and interesting moments we had with Christmas gatherings. Fancy camera setups and affection for Star Trek.
Kathy, you got a winner with Wayne, so sorry to see him no longer with us.
