Sue,
We were shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Wayne's passing. He was a great neighbor and always so pleasant to talk to. I'll always remember how nice he was to Brian when he was small when he would ask if he could go across the street to see "Mr. Barney" (and the dog too!).
We are so sorry for your loss and our loss of wonderful neighbors.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Whether you had the privilege of knowing Mr. Mehringer your whole life, or a short time, it was abundantly clear upon first meeting him that you were in the presence of an extraordinarily compassionate and gentle person. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

It was a priveledge knowing and working with Wayne for many years. You would be hard pressed to find a more sincere, dedicated and kind man, devoted to his family and all works in his life. I am sad at his passing and grateful to have known him. Kindest thoughts to Sue and the family.....

Dear Sue,

We are so very sorry to hear about Wayne. We know that you loved Wayne with all of your heart and you always lit up the room when you talked about him. I remember Wayne telling us that he would get his ladder out to fill the feeders in his wildlife sanctuary. He made this world a better place and we know he loved you and your family with all of his heart. Words cannot express our sincerest sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless You.

Dear Sue,
If I sit quietly I can hear Wayne's laugh which came so genuinely, frequently and from the pit of his stomach. He was a well loved man. No question. Our hearts ache for you and your family. His loss is felt by so many people but most of all his wonderful family. He has left a legacy of kindness, warmth and humor. Blessings to all of you.

Love Jan

Dear Sue and Family,

I have been in shock since hearing about Wayne's passing on Friday. One of my fondest memories of him is of sharing time with him, in the Chapel of All Angels, at St. George's, during many Holy Day services. Wayne's faith was rich and deep, and his kindness toward others was heart-felt and without bounds.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Grace and peace,

~Colette

Dear Sue and family,
Linda just called me about Wayne's homegoing. It is always difficult to accept the Lord's timing since it is never ours. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. It is a comfort to know that you are wrapped in His love, but it is not easy now to know He makes no mistakes.
Do know we love you.

Dear Susan,

I am deeply sorry for you. I know that words cannot take away the pain but you need to hear that I loved listening to you talk about Wayne. I loved sensing that you had a connection that many couples don't achieve in their lives and I would think that I hope that I have that with my husband as well. He left you so suddenly but he will be with you always, just in a different way.
Sincerely,

Theresa

Uncle Wayne meant so much to me. A role model, a selfless, caring wonderful person. I hold dear some amazing memories that will never leave me. His laughter will forever echo. I can hear that laugh now. His advice on all things in life including coping with the loss of my grandmother(I will never forget his words that day nor how he always had the ability to bring cheer ). His wisdom on a multitude of topics was always spot on. His love for his family and the happiness of others even over his own, was un heard of. He will be greatly missed. Susan, Mark, Michael and Julie, you are in our prayers. We love you.

I'm not sure a finer gentleman, father, friend and professional has existed. Wayne set the standard that we all aspired to emulate.
May he rest in peace......
