Not sure what to say?





I was saddened to receive the note of Mr. Rosser's passing. I was so blessed to have had the opportunity of working with Mr. Rosser and his wife while living in Knoxville. It was a blessing to me to be able to hear his stories of how he loved winning souls for Christ. Such a Godly man and an encourager. I missed you both when I moved back to Indiana. My prayers are with you and your family.

With much love,

Uncle Wayne loved good stories, and he leaves us with plenty. They are ours to retell until we all meet again.

Mrs. Rosser, Dave & Linda, and everyone:
May God fill you with His "New Grace" in days ahead as you lean upon Him. What a great reunion it's going to be when we see Jesus face to face and all our loved ones who have gone on before. We are asking God to continue extending His love, comfort, care, and cheer to each of you. Philippians 3:20,21 For our conversation is in heaven: from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
