So sorry to hear of the family's loss. Had conversations with Wayne when I came from California. My Father and Mother were next door neighbors, John and Evelyn Morgan. God bless all.

I love the Merryman family so much. You all accepted me and my boys (Dalton and Dylan) right into the family. Some of our best memories are of poppa wayne and the many family gatherings during the holidays and other times. He truly left his print on my heart as a father-in-law. We love you all and pray for your comfort during this sad time. Debra Japhet(Merryman) Mattingly
