Momentos
Wayne chose to part with his wedding ring and decided to have it buried with Christy
The casket and it's incredible lid - both were just beautiful! Phil, you did a beautiful, fantastic job! It could not have been better.
Here the family is saying a final farewell for the last time on earth - a rather emotional moment.
