My Papa Wayne wasn’t a man of many words—he showed love in action: steady, selfless, and big-hearted. My Grandma Linda balanced him out as the talker of the duo—feisty, radiant, and generous. Together they brightened every room and built the kind of partnership most people hope for. Their example has deeply shaped my life.

We know so many of you loved them, too. As a testament to their memory, our family would be honored to hear your stories. Please click the Comment option below to share. If you have photos you’d like to add for either Wayne or Linda, please email them to britrcollins@yahoo.com.

Thank you! — Brittany Collins
