Dear Sweet Mary Ann, I have you close to my heart now. I can't help but think Dale has already seen Wayne and welcomed him home, and it's all because Jesus made the way. Love you dear friend. My prayers are with you and your family now.

The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Our prayer for you is that God will wrap you in His loving arms with the peace that only He can give. Wayne's cheerfulness to the end set an example for all who knew him. You, Paul, Tom, Wylene and Daniel, Tim, Stephanie, Jonah and Lucas, and David will continue to be in our prayers with love today and always. Karen and Bob p.s. Wayne was my first big brother and we'll miss him.
