Mr. Price I will miss our morning chats and your entertaining stories. I will always cherish the music you gave me to the song “Misty”. I will have to find someone to play it for me. I will carry your memory with me for the rest of my life because you were very special to me. I know you will enjoy the music in Heaven and I know you will continue to play your instruments. My heart is heavy with your death but I know you are in a better place and will not have to suffer anymore. I will forever miss you.
I am so sad to hear of Wayne’s passing. I have such fond memories of the time we attended church together at Washington Street Church of Christ. He was always warm and extended his support in Christian love whenever he saw me. I believe that he was a man after God’s own heart. May God bless your family…
