Waylon Lee Slayton

From the first glimpse on the ultrasounds to the beautiful sound of your heartbeat, we fell in love. Our beloved, Waylon Lee Slayton went to be with our Lord on December 1, 2018 at 4:45 p.m. at Holzer Medical Center. Waylon was stillborn in Gallipolis, Ohio to Jeremy Slayton and Autumn McMillion. Waylon is also survived by grandparents, Jerry (Mary Beth) Slayton of Gallipolis, Linda Slayton of Gallipolis, and Derrick (Melissa) McMillion of Clay, West Virginia; great grandparents, Emerson Reynolds of Gallipolis, Ohio and Jimmy (Shane) Sams of Clay, West Virginia; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Half of our hearts now lives in heaven. A graveside service for Waylon will be 1:00 p.m. Friday, December 7, 2018 at Centenary Cemetery with Pastor John O’Brien officiating. Willis Funeral Home is in care of the arrangements. Please visit www.willisfuneralhome.com to send e-mail condolences. When God Calls Little Children When God calls little children to dwell with Him above, We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love. For no heartache compares with the death of one small child Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold, So He picks a little rosebud before it can grow old. God knows how much we need them, so He takes but a few To make the land of heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult still, somehow we must try, The saddest word mankind knows will always be "goodbye.” So when a little child departs, we who are left behind Must realize God loves children... angels are hard to find. -Author Anonymous
