    Cricket, Jackie, Sandy, and Agnes, my heart hurts for you. Wayne was a good man and loved by many. I will forever have fond memories of growing up on the dairy farm and spending the nights with ya’ll. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. I’m sure Daddy was there to give him a hug and welcome him home as was Mr. Leonard, Mrs. Hazel and Kathy. Much love to all of you.

      This has been the most difficult thing I have ever gone through. I can’t comprehend that he’s actually not going to be coming back home. He was the glue of this family and will continue to be, we only have to listen to hear him tell us were doing it all wrong, lol, bc I know he will let it be known. I miss him so badly and will every day. Thank you Robin and we love you. Love,
