'Dear Dr. Wayner and family, you have my most heartfelt condolences. I remember the both of you fondly and actually have been thinking of you all. I was sad to hear of Therese's passing. I pray that you are all filled with God's grace and mercy in her absence but also rejoice that she is with our Lord Jesus. You both have been a God-hand-picked couple in my life story, and wouldn't be where I am without your support, love, encouragement, and just getting to learn from you. UTSA was the best when you were around in it, and will always remember you. Jesus continue to bless you and guide you and your family! With love and respect, Liz Gutierrez, San Antonio TX, UTSA Alumni 2008, volunteer secretary/data-entry in 2006-2008 to Dr. Wayner at UTSA. email: egutierrez@neriumbiotech.com'

'Dear Wayner Family, 
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember how much fun I had at your home in Fayetteville growing up, and your Mom was always a big part of that. She was very warm and welcoming and always made me feel at home. She will be missed by many. Your slide show is amazing. Thank you for sharing that with all of us.'

'Dear Matt, 
I am so sorry to hear about Therese and I send my condolences to you and your family. She was a very sweet and loving person. 
I have a photograph of you and Therese for many many years, it is a photograph of us all dining together in Budapest. 
Love from the UK, Shirley Palfai'

'Mom is not supposed to be her today. Death came calling for her once before almost three years ago but was turned aside. She clearly was not yet ready to depart this world. A fatal plaque had developed in her coronary arteries. Though her heart was strong in spirit it was going to fail in substance, there was simply too much damage. But sometimes damage can be repaired.

'Dear Matt and family, 
 I am so saddened to hear of the loss of your beloved Therese. I knew her to be a very warm and lovely lady with a twinkle in her eyes that lit up a room. It was such a pleasure to have been in her company on happy events such as the celebration of your 60th Wedding Anniversary. I so enjoyed viewing photos of your family through the years. I will keep you in my thought and prayers. 
Susan Dalterio'

Very sorry to hear about Therese. She was an excellent person and I have very fond memories of her hosting New Year's eve gatherings at your house in Manlius. 
When in town, please call me.'

'Matt, Lisa, Chip and Tim: 
Words cannot express my feelings about the loss of Therese. She was such a lovely friend to me and an inspiration in the role of wife, mother and friend. I have such fond memories of her, and of all of you, in Syracuse and San Antonio. Watching the video tribute, I am awed by the vibrancy of her life and her spirit. I will forever remember her gentleness, her generosity and the love she felt for her family and friends. My heart is with you all. With love, Chris (Scannell) Giaccone'

'Liz, Chipper and Timmy, and Dr. Wayner, so sorry to hear the news about Therese's passing. She was such a special person and I have such fond memories of her. With sincere sympathy, Ricky'

'We had the honor and good fortune of meeting Therese way back in 1962 when we first came to Syracuse. What a wonderful lady! She worked hard, but was always warm and friendly with a kind word for everyone. She was a very active member of the publishing group and kept very busy, but loved to open her home to students, staff, visitors and friends. She was a perfect hostess. We can't remember a harsh word from Therese. We are so glad that we could be a part of her life and she was a very important part of ours. Chuck and Irene Kutscher, Syracuse NY.'

'Back in the 80s, I had the pleasure of working for Mrs. Wayner in the publishing company. She was always warm and welcoming. Tim and family, may you all find peace and happiness in the many memories you share, and especially the memory of your mom's (wife's, grandmother's, sister's) warm smile. Much love to you.'

'"I am deeply saddened by the loss of your mother. Aunt Therese, my godmother, was always an inspiration for me. I idolized her and still do. She set a wonderful example of what a bright, attractive, and smart woman should be. For you, Lisa, my heart aches. Even though we've been separated by miles, I have always felt close to you. I think of you often and remember the last good time we had at the Huttleston House over martinis and lobster with your Mom, Dad, and Brother. Condolences to Tim and Chip and all the grandchildren. Steve and I will keep you in our prayers.'
