"Wayne I wish we could have made it to the funeral. It would seem mother nature had a different idea. rest in peace . You will always be in our hearts and minds. "
"I took care of Wayne and his lovely wife,Arlene , as a travel nurse. We would always have little chats at night about the weather and my home state of Tennessee. They reminded of my parents. We continued to have these chats after Arlene passed about the farm and the weather. Now they are together again in the greatest reunion. Prayers for his nephew and the rest of the family. It was a great a privilege to have taken care of them and I will never forget them."
