I’m so sorry about y’all’s loss. Wayne was a great friend of myself and Dickey Gentry.
Uncle Wayne will be greatly missed in our family. He had a heart of gold and loved to help others. He also loved each and everyone of his nieces & nephews. He was a great man one of a kind. I thank God for giving me the time I had with them while growing up. GONE BUT NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN. LOVE YA (RIP Uncle Wayne)
