And I *really* cannot put it any better than RonnieFranchise @ Scout.com's Canes board...

"Terrible loss for Wayne, who was so close to his parents. Phyllis Gretzky and Colleen Howe are practically the patron saints of hockey moms."

May thee rest in peace, as my thoughts and prayers go out to the Great One and his family.
