Sent a gift in memory of Wayne T. Franks
Brenda, I just happened to buy a Roanoke Rapids paper today and saw Wayne’s obituary. I am so sorry for your loss. I see you have three children to help you get through these hard times. It’s been so long since we saw each other. You were a good friend and I wish you the best. Dawn Cooper Dickens
Brenda and family, Harriet & I want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers as you walk this road of sorrow. Just remember a sunset on earth means a sunrise in Heaven. He is singing with the angels. Grady
