Dear Maria and Tony,

I am so sorry to hear about Wayne.
I know we have not talked in nearly 7 years, but I always considered the Marvans my second family. Wayne was a great person to talk to about current events, education, politics, and life. I learned very much from him. He was funny, caring, and most of loved his family.
He is a fighter and most of all a great man.

I am sorry for your loss.

Your old friend,
George P. Dwyer

Cheryl just forwarded your email to me and I am turly sorry to hear about the loss of Wayne. You and Wayne kept our cubicle filled with cheer. Wayne's unique sense of humor and your laughter were missed at the office after your move to Virgina. Again my deepest sympathy for the loss.

Dearest Maria
I am so very sorry to hear about Wayne. Eleanor forwarded your e-mail this morning. I was stunned and very saddened.
Wayne was a very special and great guy. I have so many happy memories of the three of us in the family room, rehearsing for our "gigs" at the Old Prague. What a special time that was. I felt so welcome and comfortable in your home and we had a lot of laughs.
When I heard that you were in Chester, I had hoped to get in touch but you know how fast time can go by. I'm so sorry I didn't make it happen.
Again, my deepest sympathy to you, Tony and Joan.
Wayne was a very special and wonderful man. I will remember him in my prayers.
Love always, Jeanne

My deepest condolences to Maria, Tony and Joan Marvan on the sad passing of Wayne. I worked with him at the phone company for years and will always remembered his happy spirit and his laugh at things he thought were very funny.

I will miss opening up my e-mails and seeing something from him as he always remembered me.

Wayne had great love for his family, his wife Maria, son Tony and daughter-in-law Joan. No one could have been prouder of their son in the military then Wayne was of Tony.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

Eleanor
