I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I am just one of Colleens co-workers but I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to her and the immediate family. I never had the chance to meet her dad but if he was anything like her he must have been the most kind, considerate and loving person that anyone could call a “friend”. May he Rest In Peace. Wish I could be there with you and give you one of your huge I Love You Hugs

We are so sorry to hear Wayne has passed. We will miss him dearly. We will miss his beautiful voice his stories his smile and his comedic side that when we all got laughing the tears would start streaming from laughing so hard. He was such an amazing friend and as Randy would call him his bestie or his brother. We love you all and pray that God will hold you all tight in his arms and give you all comfort at this saddest of times. Wayne will be on his greatest journey with our Lird holding his hand. Rest in peace my friend. XXXOOO
