    I knew Wade as a kind and giving soul. He was a good neighbor to my mother. Always checking to make sure she was okay and often cooking and sharing with her his dinners and desserts. He was a very good cook. His yard was always beautiful with lots of flowers and he liked to share that love with her by bringing her flowers . He planted Gladiola bulbs in her little garden because he knew how much she liked them. He was a huge help to me when she became she became sick. I really appreciated him at that time.
