Dear Dale and David:
I am one of your extended family. I am Wayne's stepdaughter. I'm certain you will remember Wayne's daughter, Sandra Leigh. I just wanted to express my sincere condolences in the loss of your father. I realize Aunt Marie passed several years ago, and Grandma Hughes even earlier. How glorious that everyone is together again. Please know my prayers are with you and we haven't forgotten you.
