Uncle Wayne - I am glad that I got to see you 2 years ago. Some bad stuff happened in the family, but I always thought of you. Jan sent me a letter that you saved from my Mom. That brought a tear to my eye even now when I read it again. You will be missed. Love Debbie

I am so sorry for your loss. I know that it's really tough not having Wayne around now. 20 years is a long time to be with someone and then not be with them in the blink of an eye. My deepest heartfelt condolences go out to you as you grieve the loss of your husband, friend, and buddy. The world is going to be a different place without him in it. He's surely going to be missed by a lot of people.

Jan and Bev, We are so sorry for the loss of your husband and brother. It will not be easy, but you will get thru this with the help of friends and family. Remember the good times and how happy he was, especially on his last birthday. I am sorry I was not able to see him the last time he was in Chicago. You are both in our thoughts and prayers.
