  4. Very humble man!!! Family man whom I admire a lot!! He showed me what Fatherhood was all about. Love, Honesty, Integrity, were the examples that he showed me when I first met him! Since day one when I shooked his hand with a firm grip, he granted me wisdom, advices, and about family and what it mean in this world to be a family man, and how important it was to be a leader in your home, community, and etc. Mr. Wren and the Family, will forever be in my heart as I continue to strive to be the best Father and Family man that I can be here on earth. Family will continue to be in my prayers during this time.

  21. Always There By Emma Marie Etwell

    When you remember me,
    Please do not weep.
    My body may not be there.
    It has chosen to sleep.
    I’m not that far away.
    My soul lives on,
    Looking down, watching over
    You and everyone.
    And when you feel sad
    And life seems so blue,
    Just remember
    That my spirit has its arms around you.
    And on those special days,
    Times that you wish I could see,
    That cool breeze flowing past you…
    Well, that will be me,
    So don’t be sad.
    Have no fear.
    God has taken me under his wing,
    But I’ll always be near.
    I still watch you
    Every minute, every day.
    My love and soul are with you,
    And that’s where they will stay.

  25. Pops Wren will truly be missed!
    Our families have been through sooo much together over the years and we have shared many triumphs along with unfortunate tragedies.
    Through it all, we have held each other down- the Wren’s & the Ward’s!
    Half the time people didn’t know which of us kids belong to Delois and which ones belonged to Rachel (Mommy) because we were all sooo close!
    We will ALWAYS be Fam and like with everything else; we share your pain of loosing Brother (Pops) Wren!
    We also share your positive outlook for the future and anxiously await with you, the day Jehovah brings back all of our lost loved ones -including Pops!
    We are here -always- for anything & everything…cause that’s what FAM do!

    Love, Kisses and a Milli Hugs,

    Your Sis Laney Ward-Parker~
