"So sorry for your loss. We always enjoyed talking to Wade and he would come over to the welding shop to get something welded. I had not seen him in a while and got behind him going up Hwy 64 Christmas Day and I thought he is going to Wilbur\'s almost pulled in behind him to say hello. He had told me what a nice place Wilbur had but was headed to my mom\'s for Christmas Dinner and I thought it is Christmas and I did not want to hold him up. We know he will be missed. Our prayers and thoughts are with you Donna Stroud/Ricky Harris"
