Dear Linda, Alice and Alex, Please know that my thoughts are prayers are with all of you during this time. Wayne was a wonderful man, and I have such fond memories of the many years at St. Mary's when he would come for the children's Christmas plays. He had a wonderful smile and I loved his laugh. Wayne always had a kind word to me, a pat on the back, and he was simply a wonderful man. I know that he will be missed. Please know that he is in Heaven now with our Lord and that his pain and suffering have ended. May our Lord be your source of peace and comfort in the coming days. I love all of you. I loved Wayne! God's PEACE to all of you....... Much love to you all, Naomi Roberson Gullickson John 14:27
