To Mellissa, your children and family we all have truly lost an awesome individual. Wayne, was one one of a kind ..Wayne was a giving gentle spirit of a man, that would give the shirt off his back to anyone that needed. His dry sense of humor (lol) was one of a kind. I will miss you, (my brother, my friend) and our talks and your Mechanical advice...We love you Mellissa. You are family and you´re an awesome person as well. That´s why GOD put you both together..to his children, keep your father´s memory alive in your hearts, your talks and your lives. know that he is still there with you and guiding you through his advice he gave while raising you all. God bless you and your Family during your bereavement, love Devon and Ms Tami
