Michele & Family,
I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an incredible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. For some moments in life there are no words. It's hard to know what to say, except that I'm thinking of you in friendship and in sympathy.
Love you always.
Tip, Thumper & Family

May God comfort all of you. Wayne was a great man...he always took care of the neighborhood. He looked out for everyone. He is going to be truly missed. He had some great stories to tell and his tomatos made the best sandwiches. He is free now and resting in a place we all long to go. We never say goodbye---just see ya in a while our friend.
