My deepest sympathy to you and your family, Garnet. From us going to youth
group together, getting married within a few months of each other at the same church and now loosing our spouses within a few days seems unreal.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family in the loss of their husband, father, brother, grandfather, and friend. I have very fond memories of Wayne as he has been a great cousin and looks so much like my father with the same temperament, and brings many treasured memories to mind. Love and Godspeed "Uncle" Wayne! I always thought of him as an Uncle not a cousin! He will be greatly missed!
