Sorry to hear of Wayne’s passing. Admired his love of his dogs and
know that he really cared for them. So sorry we did not know that he was
ill and were unable to help him in his trying time as we had in the past in some
of his struggles.
We went to church with Wayne at Crieve Hall in Nashville. He was always a very nice man.
Wayne was a good friend to me for the past twenty-years. Thank you for calling me, Steve. While I am saddened to hear of his passing, I am certain he is without pain and worries now. He strived to put God first, and was a good example in many ways.
