Dear Joanie and Family, on the anniversary of Wayne´s passing, I will share this:

"Don´t be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are [our loved ones]" - Richard Bach

May the knowledge that many are thinking of you during this time and praying for you bring you comfort. Hold on to the blessed hope that we will see our loved ones again, in the earth made new.

Love,
Pat Waugh & Glen
