Greetings to the Family and Loved One's of Mr. Waymon Pryor;
Sharing a Memory..... Some of you may or may not know that for quite sometime I had a huge crush on Waymon. Yep, I thought he was a Great guy, a Precious Spirit, a kind GENTLEman and a Loyal Friend.
My favorite memory of him was our one and only date (at the time his attention was on Greener pastures, so to speak..lol).
Anyway, we went for a FAST ride, and stopped to have ice cream, shared some laughs and conversation, and had a really memorable evening. He made me feel safe, respected and protected. He's that kinda guy! I praise God that Waymon is now Safe and eternally Protected in Paradise with our Lord.
Please find comfort in the many Precious Memories and the Knowledge that if we only Believe, we'll get to see him again. Maybe, we may even get to share a cone or two..... Much LuV,

God is real and will bring us through this storm. On the other side of the rainbow are our beautiful angels who have served him well. God bless them all and keep them in his ever loving arms until we meet again. I love you all my family in Heaven and here on Earth. Let us never forget the glory and blessings of God. - Sleep in Peace Cousin Waymon. From - Brendalon, Loving daughter of Brenda Pollack
