Tributes & Memories
I sure enjoyed seeing everyone at the memorial service yesterday. Wade would have loved to see everyone. Wade and I had many wonderful memories. We met at Byrd Jr. High where he played sports and I cheered. We then went to Memorial and still were great friends. On to OU were he was an ATO and I was a Pi Phi. I served as a little sister to his fraternity. Wade and I sold shoes together at Dillards in college at Sooner Mall. We also worked together in Tulsa selling shoes. Wade was a great freind. I was fortunate enough to speak with him on the phone a few times recently before he passedI know he is no longer in pain and will enjoy being close to his mother once again. Wade we will all miss you! Love, Lori Hughes Bennett
