    Dorothy and Family

    I was saddened to see that Wayne has passed. He was such a kind person. I will never forget what you both did for me when my Mom passed. If there is anything that I can do for you just let me know. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

  2. Heather and John Stevens

    Dorothy, Dennis, Wade, Murray and family,

    We are so sad to hear that Wayne has passed. We thought he was doing so much better. John and I always felt it was fate that both he and I grew up with your family as neighbours and then we ended up married. We often share “Dorothy and Wayne” stories when we need a good laugh and a smile – how lucky we both were to have you next door. We are glad you got to have some extra time together and celebrate your anniversary with the whole family. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all, and he will forever hold fond memories in our hearts.

    Love Heather and John Stevens
