Although I haven’t crossed paths with Waymon very much in the past several years, I have memories of the fun we had at Papa and Grandmother’s as young cousins. My prayers are with you.
Waymon was always a pleasure to work with
To all of Waymon’s family, I am so sorry at your loss. I remember Waymon more from my childhood than as an adult. I always thought of him as my good looking cousin. What a joy it is for him to see Gail and his mom and dad again. Prayers for all of you.
Thinking of you all during this time and praying for comfort for each of you, love Aunt Ella Faye
