Relation: Friend from the good old days!
Oh Berniece, I was so sorry to hear of Wayne’s passing. I remember the day you and Wayne got married at the Court House, then went for pictures down the street. I also remember something about someone putting confetti inside your car. I think the confetti was collected by my Dad from all the hole punches at the Court House! Even though I was just a kid, I have such good memories of Wayne and you. You know what they say, God only takes the best … and we can attest to that! My sincere love and condolences to you and your daughter. You are in my thoughts. Lots of hugs, Heather (Scott) Cameron, Chemainus, BC

Dear Berniece
Sorry to hear of Wayne’s passing…think of you both when we would pass through Cowichan Bay. When Norm was still alive he would speak fondly of the fun times he had with Wayne through the years and the friendship they shared.
Hold your memories close
Take care
Sue
