Dear Aunt Pauline, I am so sorry that Uncle Wayne is no longer with us, but has gone home to be with the Lord. I know how much this must hurt you, yet you know he's at peace now and will no longer suffer. My heart is deeply broken, as he was a very important person in my life (just as you are). He loved and treated me as though I was one of his own children (& having sweet nicknames for me such as baby doll, etc.), that was very special! I'll never forget his giving me away at my wedding 24 yrs & 8 months ago, that was such a joyous day. I will remember all the good times, and I shall treasure the phone calls I have made and been able to talk to Uncle Wayne and yourself before his passing. I Love You Aunt Pauline, I will keep in touch just as I always have.
I Love You Dearly,
Your Niece Kathy |

I'm so sorry to hear of Wayne's passing, he was a fair and decent man who was all about his family. I saw him a couple of years ago while visiting Millis. He sure was proud of all those grandchildren and still so devoted to "his bride".
Like so many kids in town, I worked after school & on weekends cleaning the local factory offices. He passed on to us a strong work ethic and gave us the chance to have real world responsibility at a young age. He would never ask us to do anything he wouldn't do right along side of us; then he would leave us to find our own way to accomplish the tasks! He could be tough at times, but we always shared a laugh. God bless him and may peace and love be with you all. |

I was so sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. I had spoken to him over the past year or so about Marilyn because she was the wife of his brother Albert. Please accept the sincere condolences of the Hamilton family. |
