Wayne and Julia were my neighbors next door for quite a few years. The nicest people you could ever meet. I watched them raise their girls to become beautiful and smart young ladies. We could not have had better neighbors/friends.
Needless to say, I was shocked to learn of Wayne's passing today. Julia, I have the utmost respect for your family. You guys were the best and I really miss those days sometimes. I have great memories of Wayne as he never failed to bring a smile to my face with a silly joke or whatever. He was truly a good man. My heart breaks for all of you. When I saw his obit today, I just sat and looked at his picture and cried. I feel your pain all the way over here in Asheboro.
Sending much love to all of you!
