To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dearest Wayne:
I remember the deep conversation we shared regarding our Creator and eternity. Its a destiny we are all on a path to... Eternity is forever, this lifetime is but a mist. That appears but for a short time and then as quickly as it appeared it is gone. I know that we will see each other again in Paradise and that you are with the Lord Jesus. As you make this transition from earthly world into ever after, you leave us all behind missing you and wishing we could hear your hearty laughter and special way of making us all feel happy and uplifted. Wayne, I know you are together now with your beautiful Mom and Dad and that now you have eternity to get to know everything you wished you knew about them! Love you and until we meet on the other side.... your friend Debbie Sabuncu

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Noreika
My Sincerest condolences to You
Wayne is and will always be part of my roots Forever.
Playing baseball in the sump and the fun of adventures in Troop 436 are just a tip of the iceberg of childhood fun we had. It's enough to inspire a novel.
Wayne was and is a True Legend.
He was and is family to me, as are all of you
Eternally grateful to Wayne for always being there when you needed him for anything.
I only regret that I could not share more time with him on this earth and could not be any help to him.
The Spirit of Wayne will be in my heart Forever.
