Mary Ann and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have often been tempted to drop in and see Wayne (and you) and now the opportunity is forever gone. Lesser things get in the way of more important things. I will pray for you that grief will lessen each day and only good memories will stay with you. Love, Kay
