[Oe List ...] Wayne Nelson

[Susan Fertig]

I didn't know Wayne as well as I feel I know Jo, and my heart goes out
to her. 

Jo, you are in my thoughts and my prayers, and I hope you feel the
sharpness of your pain somewhat cushioned in the love of this community.
When George died, I found strange comfort in a book by Joan Didion
called "The Year of Magical Thinking". Nothing prepares you for the
strangeness of that first year alone, but it is at least comforting to
know that others have the bizarre experience of it that you quickly
begin discovering. There were times I thought I was "losing it" because
of the strange thoughts I would have or the dreams, etc. Perhaps you
won't experience your loss that way, but many of us do. I grieve for
you; I don't know that there is anything that can make it easier, but I
hope everyone's love is a comfort.

Susan

Wayne Nelson died this afternoon at 2:45pm. He was in his basement
workshop, a place where he loved to be. He was always creating something
there. We think he had a heart attack and died very quickly.
Arrangements for his service will be made in the next few days and we
will send the information out.

Jo's boys and daughter-in-law are with her and we are supporting them in
this journey.
