Dear Bryant Family,
My deepest condolences on your loss. My last memory of Wayne was a couple of months ago. I saw him at the Publick Playhouse in Cheverly, Maryland, with his mother at John Amos' one-man show. He was happy and relaxed, and as always, attentive to his mother. He will be missed; may his soul rest in peace.

He helped so many people get jobs. He was the hardest working manager CVK had. He will be soarly missed my all. We all have wonderful and loving memories of him to live by. Please accept my condolences.

Dear Senator Bryant:
I am sorry to hear that you are going through a period of sadness because your son is no longer physically with you. In the short time that he has been on earth it appears that he has done so much, I am sure that God has other plans for him to continue on. I want you to know that you can find comfort in believing that he is resting in the arms of God.
