So sad to read about Wayne’s passing. I am not surprised to read that he was a gifted musician. I still remember how Wayne (Beanie) loved the song ‘More’ ....always settled right down when he heard that song. My thoughts are with your family at this difficult time. - Posted by: Carolyn Brock (Davidson) (ane’s very first babysitter) on: Jun 09, 2018
