Dear Shirley & family,
Our thoughts are with you as you reflect on Wayne’s life and remember all the good times. We will miss seeing him while on our daily walks with the dogs through the neighborhood. Wayne used to cut my hair when I moved back to Lawrence in the early 80’s, and a few years later, we all became neighbors. Our sympathy on your loss.
Dear Shirley and family, Please know my dad and I are thinking of you and all of your immediate family. We send our love and prayers for Wayne and you each, wishing you the peace that comes from God’s perfect care for all. Love, Jacob Stands (& Cathie)
Our thoughts are with all of you. Wayne will definitely be missed. Mike and Tracey will certainly continue the tradition at Hillcrest, and will look forward to seeing the family in the shop.
To all of you, I am so sorry for your loss. I will never forget how Wayne and Shirley welcomed a college student far from home fall of ’82. Thank You.
Shirley, if you need anything at all, call me night or day.
I love you Shirley.
Mike, I’m so sorry for your loss. Your dad was always such a kick at the shop. I loved coming in there. May God bless you.
Tracy – I’m so sorry for your family’s loss especially at this time of year. When you did my nails in the mid 90s your dad always welcomed me with a big smile on his face. God bless you and your family.
