May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow

Blanche and family;
Please know that Phil and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.

Dear Blanche and family,
You have been and will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. A kind and gentle soul now rests. If we can do anything, please let us know.

Blanche and Family. So sorry to read about Wayne's leaving us. I have so many great memories of my times with him on the golf course. He was a special guy and a good friend. We will all miss him. We can't be, but our thoughts and prayers are with you today.

Blanche, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Blanche:
Wayne was one of my favorite people to be around at Victoria Golf Course. His sarcasm and wit (coupled with a fantastic short game) made him one of the most desired members of any foursome on the links. I know in my heart he and T.R. Gee are in heaven right now teeing it up and waiting for the rest of us. Let us know if we can help you heal in any way. God Bless!
