My thoughts and prayers to the family at this most difficult time. I also worked at the Marine Base and knew Wayne. He was a very nice person and he will surely be missed.

Shirley, my heart was broken when I got the news about my precious cousin! I will forever remember Wayne because of how he stood by me when Mama died and when daddy was in the hospital! He had a heart of gold! Love and prayers! Linda Williams
