I would like to express my sympathies to the family and friends. I hope that this wonderful promise found in John 5:28,29 “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out”. I hope that this will bring you comfort.
Wayne, you will be missed by all who knew you. I have such fond memories of the times we spent together. You never had a lot to talk about, but just being around you was always fun and pleasant. My favorite time together was when you and Pat came to Las Vegas for our wedding. What laughs we had!!! I’ll never forget that. And also, thank you, Wayne for giving my family your daughter, Kim. She is a wonderful Mother, Wife, and not only my Sister-in-law, but a true friend. We all will truly miss you! May you rest in peace. Love forever, Debra
Tammy, Tony, Katelyn, Justin, & White family, My prayers, thoughts, and deepest sympathy are with you. I did not know Tom but I feel your pain and loss having cared for my Mom two years ago and now my father and father-in-law who is nearing heaven’s gates. “Children do not know how their parents love them and they never will till the grave closes over those parents or till they have children of their own.” ~Edmund Vance Cooke In the days, weeks, and months ahead may you experience the Love of the Father, the Peace of the Son, and the Comfort of the Holy Spirit through all who share your grief and express their heartfelt condolences.
