To the Way family:

Please accept my heartfelt condolences in regards to your love one. Mr. Way was a wonderful neighbor, he mowed my front lawn for many years, expecting nothing in return. I will miss him sitting on his back porch and walking around the neighborhood. Keep your wonderful memories close at heart.
