    So very sorry for the tragic loss of Wayne.
    Although your hearts are filled with pain and sorrow, please know that you gain comfort from God’s promise to reunite us with our loved ones on the earth; never having to say goodbye again.
    Jesus is going to make this earth the problem-free paradise that his Father intended it to be. Revelation 21:4 says: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” ; and John 5:28, 29: “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice ” and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, ….” So many have gained comfort and strength from knowing this, may you and your family do the same. Please see JW.org
    most sincerely
    Dianne mullins

    Just discovering that you are gone, so many things left unsaid and my heart will forever be broken because of this….You were a good guy, with a tenacity un matched by anyone I’ve ever known….My heart goes out to your family and friends and you will always have a place in my heart thoughts and memories.
    RIP Wayne…
