Aug 31, 2024You gave up the last year's with the love of your life on account of me and your love for making sure ur grand kids were taken care of for which although I'm am beyond great also breaks my heart that you did not live out your final years as you had hope. The guilt and shame I feel for taking that for you will live with me till death. I love you so much dad and miss and cry for you everyday. I really hope there is a tunnel and light with you at the end cause I would do anything to apologize to you. I didn't realize it was gonna be this hard not having you around any more and emotions I have never had to deal with I'm now having to. but that is nothing compared to what you sacrificed for my children cause I was not able to And I'm so sorry you had to do that.. I love you dad and hope one day I can hug you again. Xoxo

Mar 29, 2024I was saddened to hear of Wayne and Sheryl’s passing. I have known Wayne and Sheryl since befriending their daughter Shannon in high school. I will always remember their kindness, and generosity over the years. They were always genuine and they both had a great sense of humour and a fun loving spirit. I will never forget them hosting my first baby shower only days before my twin daughters were born. Although I hadn’t been in touch in recent years I did have the privilege of seeing them both from time to time in passing, usually with some grandchildren in tow or on their way to pick up grandchildren. We would always do a quick catch up and reminisce as though no time had passed. I apologize for the belated condolences and I am so sorry for your loss.
