Wayne, Margaret, and your entire family, my deepest sympathy. I regret I will not be able to be with you Thursday to show my respect. I knew your father so many years, and spoke with him not too long ago. Naturally, that conversation was speaking highly, and lovingly about his family. My thoughts will be with you tomorrow, and you will all be in my prayers.

Wayne & Margaret I was so very sorry to hear about your loss. I know the loss of a parent is greater than anyone can know, unless they have experienced it themselves. I will pray for your family and your mother as she deals with her grief. Toni Richard-Foret
