Dear Waid Family,
Please know that I am lifting you up in prayer daily. This has to be a very difficult time in your life and only our Lord can comfort you and see you through this.
Your memories of the time God allowed you to share will be of some comfort, but the greatest comfort is knowing that you will one day reunite with your beloved Eugene.
God bless you with the comfort that only He can give you.

To the family of Rev. Henry Eugene Waid, the Lucy Addison High School Class of 1962 sends their sincere condolences.
It is always hard to lose a loved one and yet we who are in the body of Christ know that he is in the presence of our Lord and has reunited with many loved ones.
May God strengthen you as you get through this most difficult time in your life and may He comfort you during those dark days that will follow.
We will continue to lift you up to our Loving Lord.

Sometime we just need to know that people care; If this is one of those times, I'm one of those people! Ruby, may the memories held deep within your heart, help to soothe your spirit at this difficult time for you and your family...remeber: In God's arms there is strength to hold you. Grace to sustain you and love to carry you through.
And Father, in Your Son Jesus name I ask that You comfort Ruby and the Waid family for You said, Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted(Matthew 5:4) Amen!
August 1, 2009
To Ruby and Family,
No one can experience this sadness as you all do, for your feelings are unique and very personal to you. No one can begin to know exactly how you feel, except to know that sorrow such as yours is deep and real. But if you need some comfort and some help to see you through, just know how much you're cared for by all those who think of you.
In Sympathy and Friendship,
Mr.and Mrs. Edward G. Matthews, Jr. Waycross, GA

Ruby, Shannon and Nechelle,
This is Sadie I worked with you Ruby at Church Court many years ago. We are so sorry to hear of your Husband/Dad's passing our prayers are with you all. Ruby I think of you often and our work days at Church Court I always enjoyed our talks together. I did see Shannon at Food Lion several years ago and told him to tell you hello for me. If we can help you in anyway please let us know our phone number is 562-0463.
My sister lost her husband last August I know how difficult it has been for her and Bob, Richard & I, we were very close to him along with my sister we did everything together....the memories will never fade away. Time does help ease the pain of loosing him but knowing that he is not suffering anymore and that we will see him again in Heaven one day gives us the greatest comfort of all.
Love & Peace To You All,
Bob, Sadie & Richard Hardy

To my family,
I know that God is in your life because I can see Him in you and everything you do.
All things precious and loved in our lives comes from a purposeful and direct link to God:
Uncle Genie was meant to be with you and he did so in a purposeful and direct way.
No one can deny the reasons for his life because God made him to serve Him- as we all must do, and that is what Uncle Genie did.
I know that that the will of man is to be in purposeful submission to God and that is our direct link...be it now or later
Thank God that Uncle Genie knew that his calling and his family knew him to be that man.
Praise God for letting you have the times that you had with him...the memories will never fade away.
We are a strong family so there are many sources of strength at your disposal so with that thought, let the blessings flow.
We love you very much

Our prayers and sympathy are with the entire family. May God wrap his loving arms around you and see you thru this time of sorrow.

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.

I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you. John 14:18
Aunt Ruby, I don't know of any words to make the loss of your husband and best friend any easier. We are asking that God's gentle peace fill your hearts and comfort your souls during this time and the times when there is no one around. That you also find strength through His words and feel the love passing through us all.
We Love you,
"Angel Girl", Wayne, Donovan and AbiGail
The holy city, the new Jerusalem, comes down out of Heaven and the proclamation sounds: “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men…And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there will be no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain for the former things have passed away.”
