I spent countless spring breaks, Thanksgiving, Christmas and summers as a child and teenager with Damien in Kats home. I never wore shoes much as a child and my feet were blacker than a power outage and not once in the many years that I did that did she ever scould me or make me feel unwelcomed. When I had my troublesome years she never treated any differently and ALWAYS welcomed me with open arms. I will forever be thankful, love and miss Kat Waymer.
My sincere sympathy to the Waymer family. Remember the joy and fun spent together. Allow time to heal the loss. Be encouraged....
To my Cousins Tony and Damien we were Blessed to have your mother, Katherine in our lives. I will always remember all the love she has shown and given me and my family throughout the years. Katherine gave me my 1st job babysitting Damien. She shared her dog, with Alexus whenever we come home to visit during her childhood years. I will forever be grateful for her watchful eye over our home after daddy transitioned from this life to life eternal. Take your rest Cous until we meet again. Love, Monica D Haynes
