Mom, I am genuinely sorry that Wayne has passed from this life. I continue to marvel at the wonderful woman you are and wife you were to him. Your inner strength as you cared for him through his illness that continues as you walk each day out-illustrates such Strong Godly Character to those of us who are privileged to know you. He is in a better place and in the presence of the Lord with a perfect body. Thank you, Mom, for being such a wonderful woman and Godly example for me. I Love You! My prayers are that God would wrap His loving arms about you and hold you when you weep. He would comfort you when sad. He would bring about a smile when you have a fond memory. That God would be your anchor-which I have not doubt. We are here for you Mom! Always-
