Granddaddy Wayne


Granddaddy Wayne, Kelly's Dad, passed away suddenly on January 8, 2009 in Jacksonville, FL. We are deeply sadden by his passing. We had a very nice service last Sunday and still very much in the processing phase of grieving.
Unfortunately, pictures do not show character and Wayne had tons. He was a family man to the core and made every sacrifice so his daughters and family never went without.
From Wayne's service lead by his Cousin, Mac McConnell, "If we learn anything from funerals, it is that life is shorter than we think. Although it is appointed a time to die – we seldom are prepared to loose a loved one. You will never regret taking time to love and embrace those you know."
