To the Wayt and Simmons families,
Very sorry to hear about Mrs Wayt. She was definitely the matriarch of a family anyone would be proud of. My thoughts and sympathy go out to all of her family and friends. She left this small part of the world in a better place than when she got here, which is what mothers are for.

My deepest sympathy to Blaine and all of the Wayt family. I wish I could make the visitation to the funeral home on Tuesday morning but I have a doctor’s appointment in Pittsburgh at 10:00. As a child, a remember Blaine and Laverne attending the Limestone Presbyterian Church and as an adult whenever I would see her she always had a smile and took time to talk. I know she will be deeply missed by all her family and friends but may your many wonderful memories bring you peace and comfort. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry for you family’s loss. LaVerne worked with my mother, Doris Magers, at Fostoria and was in the same Sunday school class with my parents. I will miss seeing her in church.
