Hey DaD,
Now you're dancing with the Angels. You WILL be Missed and forever Loved by many, but especially by Me! If you ever for some reason thought you failed as a Father, think again. We're the type of people that's hard to come by, one of a kind... Thanks to YOU:) **Cherished Then, Cherished Now, Forever Cherished**

Doris, Carol, Brian and family, I send much love and prayers during this time of bereavement. We all have cousins that we grow up with and some that we just know of. I grew up with Wayne and loved him dearly, it feels like I have lost a Lil brother. He always made me laugh when ever I was around him and he had a way of challenging ones way of thinking. I pray for your strength family, and send my love to you.
