Guestbook
I yell out to the world,Wayne,you are my brother,I love you and I will miss you forever!
I send my condolences to the family of Wayne at this difficult time. May you be comforted by the promise of the resurrection and the knowledge that soon death will be no more and never again will we have to bury our loved ones. God makes this wonderful promise to us at Isaiah 25:8 where it says that he will “swallow up death forever.” I hope these words are of some consolation.
You have my sympathy for the loss of your fTHER AND HUSBAND
