Dear Nancy and Family.
God has a time for us. It may not fit our needs, but it is His will. We will miss him. Please remember the good times. He is safe with God now. As your life goes on; it will be painful and hurting. When you need God; just ask for his help.
Carroll and I will remember the times that we have spent together going to church, lunch and the conversations. We had a lot of good fellowship with both of you. Wayne was such a wonderful man. Everyone will miss him.
May God bless and keep you and your family.
