Letter to the Editor: All in the Family – Remembering Wayne Lukas

[Wandering Eyes]

The following is a note from Dauna Moths, the sister of the late D. Wayne Lukas, to TDN's Christina Bossinakis.

I just watched the TDN tribute to Wayne. I wish I could talk with each of those who commented–I consider us all “family.” Also, thank you for your recent comments on his life.  My heart overflows to read all the remembrances to him. I have been overwhelmed by calls and e-mails from my friends and I am still trying to accept this reality. My heartfelt wish is to thank those who made kind comments and were a part of Wayne's life.

For Wayne's 80th birthday, I sent him many scrapbooks of his life and I enclosed a card and blank pages, telling him he had to finish the books. Well, he certainly has done that. Many of the pictures of his early life were in Sermon on the Mount.

Of course, I'm proud of all his achievements, but what really counts to me are the memories of our childhood. The many remembrances of his kindness and giving to others from others that knew him are comforting. My brother, Lowell, and I try to live the same way–and this is a tribute to a mother and father who taught us these values and way to live.

It is ironic that I have a bulletin board with some of the same quotes that Wayne had on his, but that it was unknown to each of us!

I wish there was a way for me to respond to all those who have remembered him and their gracious comments comfort me. Thank you for being a part of his life.
