To the entire Brady family: I am so sorry for your loss. I would have come to the memorial service, but I just found out about Wayne's passing today.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Judy, Wayne was a special friend. We grew up together, played baseball, golf and tennis together. As you know, both Jerry and Wayne were my best friends. Wayne will truly be missed. If there is anything I can ever do for you or your family, please let me know. Mike

Dear Judy, We are deeply saddened to hear of Wayne's passing. Our world is a better place because of people like him. May you and your family find moments of peace as you struggle through these difficult times. Our thoughts are with you. In Sympathy, Jim, Kelli, Emma, Court, Gus, and Josie

- The Beisel's, , GA

To Judy, Amanda, Jeffery, and families I want to share some of my reflections about Wayne at this time of sorrow. Wayne came along near the end of the eight grandchildren of Julia and Aster Brady. There are so many examples of when we had good times and how close we were in earlier days when distance divided us less than now. Although Ramseur and Greensboro were thirty miles apart, we saw Judson, Jessie, Jerry and Wayne more often than any of the other Brady's. This was true even for the local Brady's in Ramseur of which there were more than a few. We spent many a Saturday night watching television and listening to Wayne on the guitar and Jerry on the piano. Wayne was six weeks younger than Gordon Jr. and you could sense their closeness. Our loving memories will live with us. Aunt Sally Sally H. Brady 725Liberty Street Ramseur, NC 27316

Jeff, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad... You and Your Family are in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Elizabeth & Tony Ward

Just want to say Wayne was a great neighbor and friend. For 25 years I knew I could always count on the Brady's for anything I might need. We enjoyed so many things together. Thanksgivings, Christmas and 4th of July, garage sales, chasing snakes, dog sitting, but most of all just being together. We will miss you Wayne but you will forever be in our hearts.
