Dear Wayne,Lynn and Family,
We were at such a loss for words to hear about Lem. It seems I just talked with him a month or so ago. The ECU games will not be the same without those "beautiful" dreadlocks. He has always been warm and friendly to me and I will never forget that. We will keep all of you in our prayers and thoughts and will be asking God to walk every step of the way through this with you. With His guidance and strength; hopefully, you will find peace during this sad loss. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to help you in any way. We will be there for you.

Dear Wayne and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Lem. He was such a special child and I will never forget him sitting on my lap and typing "I love Scooter" on my electric typewriter when he was five years old. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this sad time today and the days ahead. I know that God will give you the strength to deal with this loss. Please let me know if there is anything we can do for you. Dean and I love you all.
