Wayne and I met (and became cousins) when his Mother, Jessie, married my uncle Ernest Hiber. We lost track of each other as we grew up but I saw Edith every now and then. He and Wes were my age and would be together at family functions. My Mom, Jessie Farwell, and Jessie were very good friends and both happened to be red heads! May you be blessed with may wonderful memories and peace knowing he is in a better place.
