I am saddened to hear of her passing. I never met Wayne or her, but I've read Wayne's books over and over and many times in those pages he paid respect to her as the reason he was able to do what he loved for a living. I have a wife like that, and I know it's such a blessing. R.I.P. Phylliss Goddard.
