Condolence: To the Elrod family, I have alot of good memories of Wayne as with all the Elrod kids. I loved to go to Aunt Essies house and be with all her kids.

Condolence: I did not know of your loss until it was announced at Mt. Zion yesterday. My family (Eaves) and Earl Sr.'s grew up together. His Aunt Michel and I were close in age. I was sad to hear of your loss so close to the loss of his dad. Trust in God and he will see you through the sad days ahead.

Condolence: I would first like to say how shocked I was to hear this news. I went to school with Lisa and my mom worked with his dad at the airport. My parents James and Brenda Smith also say How sorry they are. Wayne was always sweet and thoughtful. I saw him at the ballgames. I saw him Friday night at the Hazel Green game and wanted to say Hi! However, Everyone did too. We also went to the Nazarene church with Wayne's family and your family. Gina or Ms Elrod can tell you. I will miss seeing him at the games. Our prayers are with you in this time. I know that Wayne's in heaven and we will get to see him again one day. If you need anything please call.

Condolence: I cannot imagine the agony and hurt you are all feeling at this time. Our church family will continue to feel this loss for years.
