God places people in our lives for a reason, season or a lifetime. My journey was always enhanced when my path crossed with Bro. & Sis. Wade. I looked forward to your smiles, hugs, encouragement and wisdom of wit whenever one of our many Masonic Houses was in Session. You are a solid rock to so many, whom we could look up to and always depend on. Sis. Wade, in the upcoming days, as your treasured and loving memories of Mr. Glen moisten your eyes and warm your heart, I pray that God will strengthen & comfort your soul with his never–ending love and meet you at the point of your present need. May you find peace, security and companion in his mighty presence … just as you did with Mr. Glen.
Daughterly love, always

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.(PSALM 116:15) Deacon Glen Wade was truly one of God's saints. Wonderful man of God, sweet person, loving husband to his Wife (Mrs. Wade) and a great role model to many he may not have even known him to be that. Deacon & Mrs. Wade are actually my husband and my role models in marriage. I admired their relationship to each other and said to God..."I want our marriage to be as theirs..growing in love even at an old age together"! Deacon Wade will be greatly missed, but Mrs. Wade and all of us have a great legacy of memories thru God's comfort to carry us on until another appt. of God's is called at which time the reunite w/Dec. Wade occurs in Heaven. God's peace and comfort is raining down upon you Mrs. Wade! Love ya! The Jeffersons (Roger & Malinda, Marteal & Louise Knox)

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.

We are sorry for the passing of Royal Grand 1st Associate Advisor,
Companion Guardian Glen Wade. We will him. He was such a calming spirit and would fill a room with love. Royal Grand 1st Associate Advisor,
Companion Guardian Glen Wade wil be missed.
We lift you up unto the Lord
In this time of grief,
We pray the Lord will be to you
The comfort that you need

To all the questions 'why',
Know that God is in control
And is there by your side
He understands the way you feel
And knows the loss you face,
So rest in His eternal love,
For there, you'll find His grace.

We will miss you, Sir Knignt Glen Wade! We are here Princess Emma Wade if and when you need us. We love you too.
“For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.”

Some people come into our lives,
leave footprints on our hearts,
