Dearest Ethel Mae, Terri, Steve and Linda,
I was deeply saddened when I heard of Wayne's death. But, along with that sadness came the realization that Heaven gained one heck of a good guy. He was ALWAYS one of my favorite people and I always tried to let him know that.
With love, sympathy and prayers.
