Dear Mrs. Granderson and family,
Please accept our condolences on the passing of your husband and father.
We think of you each time our wire fox terrier, Foxy, does something silly. (a lot)
You told me of how Mr. Wayne would play with the puppies each evening and how they really liked to snuggle with him.
Sincerely,
Susanne and Byron Langley

Wayne Granderson was a big guy friend when I needed one way back in the early 50's. Great, unselfish man and he seemed much older than his probably 16 years at the time. I was the little guy in need of support and in stepped Wayne so naturally. We worked at the local YMCA bowling lanes together.
I wish I could have thanked him again.

DEAR GRANDERSON FAMILY,
I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. MR GRANDERSON WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE.
HE ALWAYS HAD A POSITIVE ATTITUDE EVEN WHEN HE DIDN'T FELL WELL. HE ALWAYS MADE ME LAUGH AND WAS A PLEASURE TO BE AROUND.
I WILL MISS HIM AND HIS "TAKE" ON THINGS.
KEEPING YOUR FAMILY IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
