I know that I am 7 years too late but in light of Wayne's death, I cannot help but express my love for both of these distant cousins of mine. When I was a child my parents would travel every year from Wisconsin to Arkansas to visit my great-grandmother and grandfather, my great uncle's aunts and cousins. When we visited Wayne and Corene's home, there was so much love, easy Joy and fun. I have not visited for so many years, but these family members are still deep in my heart. As everyone grieves Wayne's departure, I am sad for all of you, but I am thinking of Wayne and Coreen joined together in a perfect heaven where my father has lived for the past 32 years. They loved each other and now they can be together again❤️✝️🙏

Corene I am so grateful for God putting you into my life. You were always there for mamma, daddy and myself. God has called you home, you will be missed. I love you, and that gold purse you gave me, well it still makes a new leather sound!!!
I remember the first time I saw you, Wayne was driving the old car with the rumble seat in back and we went to your house. You and Wayne had such love for each other, it was so beautiful!! You are leaving a loving family and you did such a good job down here!! Love you xoxo
