No one could organize and direct a lay speaker training event like Wayne Bradshaw, and always -- always -- with a smile and a generous spirit. Wayne was the kind of man who lives to inspire others, and his legacy will continue to eternity.

Sue and Tonya,
We are so saddened by the loss of Wayne, he was most assuredly a man of character, honesty, commitment of many worthy traits and he was an example of how mankind should relate to their fellowman and do good to everyone. The world certainly would be a much better place if everyone acted in the Christian manner as he did.
Pauline and I are sorry we cannot attend the funeral as she is having health problems and is having surgery next Monday.
We will pray that God will sustain you all in this time of grief and heartache. He is a Loving God and cares for His own. Just trust Him and He will give you comfort as no other can.

Dear Family,

On behalf of all the students at TSUD who were so blessed to know him, let me extend our love and prayers.

With not only his great service there but to everywhere else his presence blessed, Jesus is surely saying to him, "Well done thou good and faithful servant."

Call on me if I can help in any way.
