Wayne S., Emily S., Douglas F., and Brian S. Abbott

After 23 years I still recall my time with Wayne in the gym. We not only trained together, we talked about the Lord and his personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As for weight lifting; he pushed me beyond my limits. Even now in my mid 60´s, I still feel him pushing me in the gym to get my very best out of each training session. I am confident that we will meet again in Glory.

To the Abbott and Schwarz families,

Know that I am praying for God's peace and strength for you. I got to know the Abbotts a few years ago when I watched Doug, Brian and Meg during Wednesday night choir practices at Valley. I only did this for a few months, but I was very encouraged by the joy in their life because of Jesus. "I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts...

To the Abbott and Schwarz families:
My brother and Wayne were best friends while I was growing up. I have great memories of Wayne and his excitement for life. Memories of hunting, Baskin Robbins and Dunkin Donuts with Wayne, my brother & Doug Gravatt will always stay with me.

I am deeply saddened by this tragic loss. While we may mourn this sudden passing of Wayne, Emily, Douglas & Brian, we can be thankful knowing that they are in heaven with the Father for eternity.

To the Families of Wayne Abbott - I knew Wayne from Towson High, Central Presbyterian and U of Md. Please accept my prayers for your families as you being this long road of recovery. May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

To the Abott and Shwarz family;
I do not know any of the Abbotts personally, but I know that we shared one thing in common, the love of our saviour JESUS CHRIST. I can't begin to imagine the devestation that all the family members are going through at this terrible time in your lives. Hold on and be strong and remember that GOD answers all prayers. Much love and Prayers to their daughter and sister,
Amelia Crowner

Our family wishes to express its deepest sympathy. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

My condolences to the family. My son Austin Rill played outdoor soccer last year with Brian. I knew the family from the games, they were great people, and came and cheered for their son. The whole family is in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

My sympathy to the Schwartz and Abbott families. I knew Emily from the youth group at Valley Church many years ago. She was always a friendly and positive person who lived her Christian faith. My prayers are with you all.
