I miss you every day of my life, it seems so unfair that I only got to share 5 years with you. I know you're in heaven watching down on me, mom, Rainshyne (scott) and Phoenix! I wish you were here to watch Phoenix grow up, you are truly missing out on knowing the coolest little dude! He knows all about you as Rainshyne and I talk about you all the time and make sure he knows he has a papa named Wayne and that there are parts of Phoenix that reflect you in sooooooo many ways! Missing you more every minute of every day! I love you, please keep watch on us and take care of Orion as I know you are! I love you! Rest in peace! Love your peanut! - Posted by: Whitney (Daughter) on: Nov 28, 2013

My dearest Wayne: It is hard to read these comments from people who say they loved you. What they don't know is, that YOU wrote your obituary, YOU wrote your eulogy and YOU were the one who did not want Michael and Wayne jr at your funeral. Your boys had nothing to do with you in the last 5 years of your life. You found a family that truly loved you for who you were and not what they could get from you. You were the most generous, giving, loving, and caring man i knew and only you, Whitney and I knew what a loving family we had. Life is a lot sadder to live without you in it. We will go on as we promised you and at least now you have Misty in heaven to keep you company till we can all one day be together. Love forever Terry and Whitney (The family you called YOURS!) - Posted by: Terry (Wife) on: May 11, 2012
