There are so many great memories of our parents hand together and we will all cherrish forever! One being. They both were coming up to the house to visit. My Mother was waiting in the bathroom with the window cracked about a inch. As soon as they knocked on the door she blew an “airhorn” needless to say.. your Father cussed and your Mother fell Into the flower bed! MY Mother laughed so hard she almost wet herself!!
Just one of my Mothets favorite story to tell!

Oh, Diane, I’m so very sorry for the loss of you daddy! I try to be forever grateful to still have mine! You know, he truly loved you, as he made such an amazing, strong woman. He made you in his likeness. He taught you everything you ever needed to know. I love you, and in that, I loved him as well. I will always be here for you. He is always a mentor, but more in your dreams and thoughts now. Just know, he is with you, every day!

Diane I’m so very sorry to hear the loss of your dear dad. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, however I know he was an extraordinary man with a heart of heart of gold. And how I know this is because he raised you to extraordinary and a heart of gold and also one of my best friends who shows nothing but unconditional love to the people that she loves and I am so blessed to be one of those people. Just remember during this difficult time your dad lived a long and fulfilling life and now he is home with his beloved wife and that alone should fill your heart with joy. 143 always.

I knew Mr Wayne since I was probably 5 years old and well on into my 20s .. i
used to come in to case and he would let me climb up
On all the yard equipment and play .. I took that play time and made it into a career . He always welcomed me into his home or into his camp site to eat crabs. Nothing but respect to this great man. Wayne may you rest in peice eating jumbos long into eternity my friend. Nothing but love and fond memories. Sorry for his family’s loss. Prayers
