I pulled up to the house lookin for the girls and Wayne comes to the screen door and says ” hey momma Mindy whats up?” At that moment I knew he understood how much I loved his whole family and I felt on top of the world.
My love is with each and every one of you and my heart hurts for your grief. This sucks on so many levels. Girls I got lots of hugs saved up for you so when you can come get em.

I love you Waynee, we were close when our babies were really young, then things changed we changed our thoughts and views changed.
But I never stopped loving you. I will miss you so much.
R.I.P. uncle Wayne I love you and miss you give all our loved ones a hug and tell them I miss and love them. Fly high
R.I.P. baby daddy. I honestly have to say, I couldn’t of asked for a better father for our beautiful Cheyenne Melton. You left that girl way too soon ,mailman. Watch over our baby girl, keep her safe and let her know you’ll always be with her.
We ALL know what you had planned for your baby girl, Wayne and it certainly wasn’t having to deal with you leaving her this soon. Hopefully her sisters will do the right thing by her and honor your wishes of what’s rightfully hers. She could use your help one last time right about now, baby daddy.
You’ll always have a place in my heart. R.I.P.
I really miss you dad. I catch myself getting up in the middle of the night and going to your door to check on you only your not there. This wasn’t supposed to happen to you and mom you guys were supposed to be here forever and it’s not fair. I’am truly lost dad my heart is broken. I know we bumped heads but you were a great father and grandpa and I want you to know that I thank you for everything you’ve done especially with your first grandbaby that just so happen to be born on your birthday. Iam ever so grateful to you and mom. I know I will miss hearing, “April keep your fingers off the thermostat,” lol.. I miss you pop I love you…Mudflap has been very sad just not himself. I see him walking around looking for you, he even went in your room and slept on your floor on the side where you slept. He misses you too dad. We love and miss you so much. Hug my mom for me Love always, Poohbear
