Wayne is a peach of a guy and that is as close as I got to her. Wayne, and curious about her maiden last name. Only for historical reasons, we all came from somewhere.

I never met her but do know her son and if she was anything like him, I can understand the praise for her!

Wayne, I was saddened by this, and although it was not unexpected, it is never a good time to lose a loved one. I wish you the best during these difficult days.
