Another year gone by. The heavens are filled with loved ones, and Wayne is with Donna, Billy and Aunt Pat and Uncle Bill. He is now an angel, and we miss all our angels, especially this time of year. May God continue to bless you, Diane and Penny Jean!

Diane and Penny,
We know how painful this day is for you. It's so painful to not have Wayne with you, but God has him in HIS care now--NO MORE PAIN! He and Diane, Billy, and your parents are sending their love to both of you, and Red and I do the same. God bless you!

We choose to remember Wayne as quiet; always a smile no matter how things were going. It was easy to have a conversation with Wayne. Going back a few years, I remember how much they looked alike--my brother, Keith-- and Wayne, both with blonde hair and blue eyes. They did what little kids do, climbing trees, bike riding and all. Wayne, you will be truly missed. God bless you as you join the rest of your family and Cindy in heaven. Rest in peace Cuz.
