Hey Marty and Sidney and Alleen,
My heart goes out to you all. Let me offer my deepest condolences to you all. I'm saddened myself. I wish I had been more proactive in staying in touch with Uncle Wayne. A number of people who knew him in Chillicothe have had lovely things to say about him. Hopefully some folks can make the service in Greenlawn, so you can hear them yourselves. All of us in the Graves family send our love. Let's hope these "boys" are all together once again on some far brighter shore.
