Dear ones who loved and shared their lives with Wayne.
He is quiet and peaceful now, in an entirely different (but not new) world. Returned to the Source of us All.
You have the big job to deal with all the details of burial and all, but more especially filling the gap he leaves in your lives.
Remember him and in remembering him, remember the Source from which we are all derived, Remember the One of which we are all part, Let his parting remind us of That which is beyond our knowing but which sustains and guides us in all our stumblings.
With love,
Dee (classmate in Sodus Central School)
