Not sure what to say?

I know it's been a long time since his passing in 2007 and now in 2025 but I never got a chance to say goodbye. The day of his funeral I went to his funeral. I was the only one on my pew I felt like he came to my pew and sat down next to me. Then later that evening when I was at the place I was staying I felt that he was in the chair opposite me. I felt his presence in the room until 11 oclock and it seemed he left with an angel. None of this fits with my Jewish beliefs but this is what I...

Dearest Marilyn, I am so sorry for your loss. Wade was a great man of service and I am sure he was welcomed into the arms of Jesus with great joy on both sides. I loved his sense of humor and grin - what a fun guy to be around, one who encouraged all he met, calling all of us alongside him to service to our Lord. Bless you and your family. With love, Aneida Alexander

I hated to here this news.

Dear Marilyn, I miss Wade and his smile and his wonderful sense of humor. I'll miss arranging for he and you to have the best window seat at our Wednesday Night Fellowships. I'll miss the excitement on his face when he dug through my candy jar looking for the cinnamon candies. I'll always treasure the cinnamon candy necklace he gave me as pay back for those he had eaten. I'll miss all that but treasure those memories always. He is not dead, He is alive with Jesus! ( I read the article...

I WAS SADDENED BY HIS DEATH,AT LEAST WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE HIM IN HEAVEN. HE WAS A VERY GOOD FRIEND . HIS ABSENCE WILL BE FELT BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM. I AM GLAD THAT HE WAS MY FRIEND.

I am so sad to hear about Mr. Henry's passing (I got the news last night from Mrs. Stocks).

A few years ago I was bummed out that I had missed meeting up with him and Mrs. Henry when they were last in town (good ol' Evansville) but we did speak on the phone and it was great to hear from him. I do hope you know that eventhough it's been such a long time that I've both seen and talk with all of you that you have a special place in my heart & mind and my love & thoughts go out to...

Dearest Marilyn and family, it seems like the sun is shining a little less brightly today without Wade's warm smile to assist it. It is a bittersweet event when a saint goes home to the Lord however I have been smiling as I think of the faces around the banquet table of the Lord as they welcome Wade: Dad, Mike McKay, Gene Damron, Forrest and Sy, the Himes, the Evans, and all the others who await us. What a wonderful day that will be! Love to you all.

Thank you Wade and Marilyn for your loving guidance and wisdom. We will miss Wade's sage wit and warm smile, but his spirit is actively embossed in our memories. Our deep condolence to you Marilyn and all of your family. Our Love, Race, Trisha and Trent Jones (Anchorage First Baptist friends)
