I pray that God will comfort you in your sorrow. I only knew the two of you through Wayne's hospitalizations at Crouse, but was so impressed with your loving and caring attitude towards eachother. You obviously had years of good memories together.

My deepest sympathy. My mom and I got to know Wayne and Shirley while he was a patient at Fahey 3. Wayne was a fighter and tried so hard. He will be surely missed. Our sympathy to Shirley and his family.
