Not sure what to say?

I miss you big brother. You were my best friend and I love you and miss you more than I can even admit to myself. I think of the last time we spoke, and I made your dinner the night we lost you, and I carry the fact I did not come over that night when you asked me to every day. I wish I had come over and seen and talked to you one last time. I love you, Chris PS Ain't nothing like the Wayne thang baby!

Its been so long ago now that I had the pleasure of being around Wayne but what wonderful memories I still have of him and his family. Always with an upbeat smile...He was a happy and kind person, and Im sorry the world, his family and friends didnt have him around longer. Blessings and a big squeeze to the entire Macomson family. I know his loss is heavy but I also know he is smiling down on you all!

We miss your humor and wisdom and the everyday stuff we took for granted. We always talk about you and laugh in order to feel you around us. It makes it easier and feels right. We do feel your strength. Heaven is a lucky place! We love you!

I miss you so much,
I feel lost now w/o you..

I am terribly saddened to hear about Wayne. We both attended Clover Hill High School. I haven't seen him for many years, but my memories of Wayne are that of a great guy from a great family. He has left a wonderful legacy for his own children. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, children, family and friends. May you find peace in the wonderful memories that Wayne has left for all of us.

Wayne is the love of my sister's life, the idol of Kate and Alex and the best friend of my husband; Kevin. He will forever hold a special place in many hearts. My heart holds memories of my own friendship and connection with the "Wayne Thing". I will treasure every memory that exists. Wayne, Kristin, Kevin and I shared a unique bond. Our children do as well. Although it will be different from now on, his love for us will be felt and remembered always. There is an emptiness that can never be...

I was shocked and extremely saddened when I recently learned of Wayne's passing. He and I played baseball together at CHHS and I often think of his magic freshman year. Though I never had the pleasure to meet his wife and children, my deepest sympathies go out to his parents, siblings and entire family. He will be greatly missed.

To Wayne's wife, children and family: it has been many years since I last saw Wayne, probably our 20th reunion. If it were not for the planning of our 25th reunion, I am sure I would have not known of Wayne's passsing for quit some time.

As I am sure you know, Wayne was selected from his Senior class 'most likely to succeed', a title I am sure served him well since our graduation. I know that by reading the many entries in the guest book, from elementry school friends, to the vast...

I was so sorry to hear about Wayne, my prayers are with you and your family,
