Harriet and I share your sadness. I was pleased that Wayne was called to Independence church, where I served in the '90's: he was doing a fine pastoral work. May God bring you comfort and peace.

I feel so blessed to have known Wayne, and just know, he will be greatly missed in our church. He was an outstanding minister and his dry sense of humor was a tribute to the person he was. He brought so much to our congregation and loved by all who truly knew him.
