Cherissa you had a wonderful dad that loved and appreciated everything you did for him. I remember when I first met him he told me he would pick me up for Church the next Sunday and he did. He was my brother and my friend and a perfect gentleman. I enjoyed talking with him and listening to him plus he had a good sense of humor. He will be missed. If you need me Cherissa I am only a phone call away. Prayers going up for you and your love ones. Wayne was truly a Friend for Life Love for Ever
