I am going to miss my baby brother Wink so much, but I have peace in my heart knowing that he is in Heaven with Jesus! He always talked about how great it would be when Jesus comes back. Wink and I were very close from the day he was born until the day he left this Earth, and he will be remembered and loved by all of his family and friends!



Love,

Your big Sis, Carol... see you in Heaven :)

Wink was a wonderful uncle and will be truly missed by all who knew him. He had a wonderful sense of humor and amazing musical talent. We know he is happy now in heaven, but we will always love and remember Wink and keep him in our hearts.

Uncle Wink was an inspiration to our entire family and is missed dearly. He and "Papa" (S.B. Vaughters) shared in the role of being father figures to me. Wink will forever be admired by his family and friends for his musical talent and his unique sense of humor! We know that he is in heaven, along with my cousin Al(Wink's nephew, who also died a tragic death... 9 years ago). Wink certainly did his job as a Christian, as he was consistantly witnessing to others about being saved and about how wonderful Jesus Christ is!



Everyone misses you so much Wink- you will always an inspiration!



Love,

Your neice, Jenny
