I shall indeed miss Wayne and his wonderful laugh. He seemed to make you feel like you were the only friend he had. You could see the love of God in his life and at church. He was a great cook too. Know that I am thinking of you Carolyn, Mo and Donna.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of cousin Wayne Jennings. The Lord decided Wayne would join the great Jennings Family gone before. We know we will miss his presents at the family reunions and a chair is empty that can never be filled, but wonderful memories of him are with us always. Until we all meet at the Great Jennings Family Reunion of the other side. God Bless and give strength to his mother and his family.

Everyone should have a Cousin like Wayne....or a Father like him, or Brother, or Uncle.........or a Friend like him. The only thing that prevents that is that Wayne was one of a kind. To say Wayne did not influence anyone during his life is like saying the moon does not affect the tides. Wayne's goodness came like wave after gentle wave on life's shore. His love of things family and things Godly were never in question. We will miss him until we are with him again, and we will remember him always as a hero of goodness. God be with Wayne's family....Better said, God IS and ALWAYS WILL BE with Wayne's family. With our Love.
