To Wayne, the nephew of my e-mail

Buddy Ed - I hope and pray that they

will find who did this to you - who

had taken you away from your loving

family and friends.



Your Uncle Ed and I have been e-

mail buddies for at least three years now and I know that how much

he loves your Aunt Loretta and the

whole family. We talk about

gardening and politics and it has

been a great comfort to me as I

have lost someone dear to me too.



Rest assured thaf you will be in

my prayers and rhat soon, very soon

they will find out who did this

to you.

What's up kid,how do I start,we met when we were 12 and bonded instantly. You became my brother, so much more then a friend,you and your family took me in and helped me when ever I needed it. I miss you so much now you cant even believe. Without you here I am dead inside, i feel like someone stole my soul. Now you have a daughter and a fiancee that will always love you, and rest assure they will be taking care of. I will always love you and miss you, save a seat for me right next to you.

Yo kid,

You know that we had alot of great times together since we were 13 years old. We started as acquaintances which grew into friendship, than we were best of friends and that grew into brotherhood. I wish you could be around for me through out my whole life. You graced me and made my life so much better. We grew together from young punks to mature men, I think everyone would agree. God kid, the times we spent together (both good and bad) were soooo precious that words couldn't even begin to describe. I loved you so damn much ya know, you were my brother. You know that I will do everything in my power to take care of your family and live out your legacy(haleigh). Rest assure that your beautiful baby girl will be well taken care of. I will be here for your family for whatever they need whenever they need it. Wayne, the only thing i can tell you know is to grace heaven with your beautiful smile and wonderful presence as you have so many of us here on earth. God bless you and REST IN PEACE. Until the day that we walk together again i will miss you. Always and Forever your in my Heart. Your Best Friend and Brother,

Wayne, I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye. But it's hard to hear things of this nature being this far away. I still can't believe that your gone, I'll never forget looking out my door and seeing you wait for Layton on the step smoking a cigarette, I'm gonna miss you Wayne, watch over me and keep me safe while I'm over here. You and your family are in my prayers.

Wayne, I probably have not seen you in a really long time but I cant believe this. YOu totally did not deserve this at all. I remember a few years ago at Keith Rockey's block party we had you putting on Heather's lip balm and you swore it was lip stick..It was really funny.. You were a great guy. We'll never forget you. Rest in Peace...
