WHAT A GREAT MAN, FUNNY, KIND, OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHIES TO THE FAMILY.
I am sorry to learn of the loss of your husband; my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We have not met, however I would like to share with you that I work with your daughter Annie. I have had the pleasure of knowing your delightul and humorous daughter Annie, for about the past 3 1/2 years. She has shared many wonderful stories of her family with me, and I have enjoyed listing to them. Once again, my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
Sincerely,

Wayne was a fellow loved by all. I never heard an unkind remark about him. I cherish him as a very enjoyable friend and remember our many years working together at Boeing.
My deepest sympathies. Hearing of Wayne’s talent and enthusiasm for sports, I understand now where Stan gets his. I’m sorry I didn’t get to know him. Danny.
