We're so sorry for your loss and our loss of a great friend.  I will so miss the phone calls on the weekends from Wayne.  We discussed our gambling strategy and the great trip out West.

Those memories mean so much to me and I will always remember you Wayne as a good friend.

Candle1-thumb My memories of Wayne go way back to the 1970's. I remember Dad and Wayne playing cards, going to meetings at the VFW anf the memorial day parades in Marshall. He was a good man and patriot. He will be missed.

What  great friends you and Bianka were and are.  We enjoyed you so much.  The trips to Vegas, card playing and just hanging out together.  You always made things fun. 

Of course we can't hear the song " We are the Champions" with out thinking of you (whenever you were on the winning side) when playing cards. 

You will  always be remembered and loved.

      Wayne on his 63rd Birthday.

The years we've shared have been full of joy.  The memories we have made will go on and on. 

 

You lit up my life, my hopes, and my dreams.  You opened my eyes to see what it all means.  You understood me and I did not have to explain.  You brought sunshine to the rain, but the rain is like tear drops for the ones left behind.  So now that you are gone how could I forget; Because you were the greatest.  Happy Birthday in Haven Till we meet again.  Love Bianka

Happy Anniversary October 2, 2009

Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent is the voice we loved to hear; Too far away from sight

 

and speech, but not too far for thought to reach, Sweet to remember Wayne who was here, Who's, gone away, is just as dear.  Missed and Loved

Name: Bianka DeLaney
Note: July 12, 2008 a year has passed. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I would walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. My heart still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow, what it meant to love you, no one can ever know. Since you will never be forgotten, I pledge to you today, a hollowed place within my heart, is where you'll always stay. Love Always, you loving wife and son Brandan.

Name: Marie Pytlowany
Note: In Loving Memory of Wayne it broke our hearts to lose you but you didn't go alone for part of us went with you the day God took you home. Like an eternal flame your memory will live on in our hearts forever. LOVINGLY REMEMBERED BY HIS FAMILY.

Name: Nada
Note: Dear Bianka, I know one of the hardest things for you, after Wayne died, was signing any kind of greeting card. Just writing your own name, and not both of your names. Suddenly, you were a "me" instead of a "we". There are special people in our lives who never leave us -- even after they are gone. Life is so different, so changed, for you. Wayne was just the kind of person you don't find very often. You can't replace him, all you can do is remember. People who knew him can't forget him Bianka and on this 1-year anniversary of his death, I can still hear his easy laughter. Thinking of you, with love, Nada.

Name: Lynda walbeck
Note: I miss you so much words can't express. You Bianka John and I had so much fun together. You were a wonderful friend and brother Lynda

Name: Bianka DeLaney
Note: If roses grow in Heaven,Lord please pick a bunch for me; Place them in my Husband's arms, and tell him they're from me. Tell him I love him and I miss him, and when he turns to smile, Place a kiss upon his cheek and hold him for a while. Because remembering him is easy ,I do it every day; But there's an ache within my heart, that will never go away. Love and Miss You for Ever. Bianka

Name: Bianka & Brandan
Note: You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We though about you yesterday and days before that too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name. All we have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we'll never part. God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts. Thinking of you
