My big brother - how I will miss you! Especially your spontaneous phone calls when you would say "Winston is calling to talk to Missy" and I'd reply, "sorry, she's taking a nap" And we'd have a good laugh. I love you Bubba.....Sis

Unfortunately it always seems we never communicate except at those occassions of our greatest happiness or sadness.

My very fond memories of my Uncle Don will stay with me forever. To Danny and Bruce and Aunt Joann my sincere best wishes and condolences on your loss.

Let's not let this be the last and only way we reach out to family.

Sincerely;

Lawrence Wamsley and Family
