My Dearest Wayne,
I miss you so much already. I miss talking to you every morning before I left for work and hearing your voice when you answered and said Hi Baby. When you didn't answer on Thursday I knew in my heart something was wrong. You were one of the strongest people I have ever known. You were so sick but you never stopped dreaming about what you were going to do when you got better. I'm sorry you never made it to see the grand cranyon or got to buy the truck you were so happy about. From the first day I met you you told me you had dreams and hopes and you never gave up. You fought until the end and for that I am so very proud of you. You have changed my life in ways you will know. I love you. You have taken a pieace of my heart with you and I will never forget you. I love you baby xoxox with all my love. Jean xoxox

Wayne,
I have known you but a short time but you have touch my life and my heart in way to numerous to count. From the first time we met, I so much enjoyed your sense of humor, your honesty, you love of life and family. The ways in which you put others first, taking care of them, then yourself. I will never forget the joy I felt at Christmas, sharing dinner with you and how you made me so welcome as part of your family. I will never forget the pride you took in setting up the Christmas village and how we laughed as you showed us "the other side of the tracks". Wayne you are truely and amazing man, one that I aspire to be someday. Even as sick as you were, you still joked and made lite of it all, having your lasagna from a can or worried that you may mistakenly use the balcony instead of the bathroom after the furniture was moved around. I made you a promise that I will ALWAYS keep as you did for us. You can rest in knowing that I will always take care of Ronda. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your life. I will never forget you.

Love
Ron

To my Father/Uncle.... You were an amazing father to myself, Wayne and Elizabeth. A true fighter and my hero. I will miss you so much Dad, you were my world, my best friend always there for me. My life will never be the same without you. You always protected me and made sure I was always taken care of first. You were a fighter and if left in your hands you promised me to never ever give up and you kept your promise, because is was Gods decision to take my angel.

I love you Dad/Uncle and will never ever forget you.

Love always

To Waynes family,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. I have fond memories of pushing Wayne in his baby carrage on Sonoma Court. I was just 6 years old and he was a newborn.
I had some real fun times with Wayne, Linda and Kenny.
Last time I saw Wayne was when he had his heart surgery and I was not aware that he had been so ill. I will always have very fond memories of him.......Cousin Beverly in Florida
