Weynette was a mentor genealogist to me. She was an excellent researcher with a good sense of humor.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of THE pioneer in self publishing of books for genealogists. Mrs. Haun was always helpful to younger authors just getting started in the business. Her work in Johnston County county court minutes and other records is a real treasure for genealogists and an inspiration for others to try similar work.

Dear Friend Walter.

As with many others, I do not have words adequate to express my sincere sorrow for you and your fine family nor have I words sufficient to reveal how much I feel for you and Dear Weynette's friends and associates. She truly was such a Dear, warm, generous, and totally gracious Lady!!!

She will be sorely missed by every person who ever knew her.

With my warmest regard and deepest sympathy. God Bless you all !!!!!

Know too that I do so much appreciate the opportunity you gave me to say hello one last time and to wish her the best. Thanks SO much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She was a wonderful friend who will be eternally missed. Her legacy of transcription of North Carolina and Virginia records, for genealogical research, is without compare. Our love and deepest sympathy to her family. Ray and Bob Fouts
