We still miss getting together for the big fish fry and your special drinks you made for all of us. Judy is a dear friend and you two were the best together. You are missed and thought of often. Phil is keeping up the tradition of fishing, sometimes catching nothing and sometimes getting a few bites. He loves doing it just like you did. God is lucky to have you up there with him.

Wayne truly appreciated all that God gave us on earth.... may he continue to enjoy what comes next with God in his Kingdom. (Hopefully, that includes a lot of fishing! )

This guy. Stole the hearts of everyone at CHVH. I've taken care of thousands of patients, but Wayne was on the top of my favorites list. And he knew it. He fought so hard. He made goals and reached them all. He was truly one of the best story tellers I've known. He called us all hero's and thanked us constantly. I'm so glad I had the chance to thank him, and tell him that he was the real hero. ❤
