Dear Shirley and family,
I want to express my sympathy to each of you with the passing of Wayne. He has been a bright spot in many of my days. He always greeted me with a wide smile and an affirmation that he was good regardless of the circumstance. He is a friend who will always be thought of fondly. It has been one of my life pleasures to aid in his care and he will be missed dearly. Until we meet again Wayne Percell ...we will try to keep Mashburn in check just as you ordered.
