Our family was saddened to hear of Mr. Hyde’s death. When we took our young children to Community Concerts in Del Rio they woulld ooh and ahh over the man in the Tuxedo. Our prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
Barbara, you and Wayne were so special to our Sunday School class and church in Burkburnett. Our prayers and love go to you at this time.
Barbara, you and Wayne have been such an inspiration in our lives. The two of you have shown us how to live meaningful lives for ourselves, our families, our church, our community, and our country. We hope we can live up to the standard for character Wayne set. All our families and friends were so proud of him. Wayne was a cousin, but he was more like a brother and friend to me. I like to think of Wayne and my brother Carl and I as the three musketeers. We will miss him.
Barbara – You and Wayne were part of the happiest three years of our lives when I pastored in Douglas. You two became true and dear friends. We treasure knowing you and your precious children. Be assured that God has another saint praising Him there as Wayne always did here. Wayne was a great Christian man. God bless you, Barbara, and your family.
