This is such a loss for Belhaven. Dr. Kenyon will be greatly missed. He has been such a great influence on so many young people, including my daughter who is about to graduate from Belhaven. Our prayers are with the Kenyon and Belhaven families.

Ginny and family,
Joyce and I were shocked and saddened to hear of Wynn's passing. You know how important you both were to our growth as Christians. We both remember Wynn's teachings at the Stauffer's home bible studies and the many laughs and fun times at the Christian Recreation Program. We pray that in the coming weeks and months you will know an extra measure of God's grace as you deal with your loss. Please extend our condolences to all of Wynn's family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

It was with great difficulty that I learned of Wynn's death. I will always remember him barking out a loud, "HA!" when he was amused, which was often. He was a beloved part of the Belhaven legacy and will continue to be so through the lives he has touched through the years. I know the coming days and months will be so difficult without him, but know that I am sending you my prayers and love.
