Wayne, Sue, Kay, and Family,
So sorry to learn of your loss. Your Dad was such a sweet man and cared deeply about others. It is hard to say goodbye to our loved ones but what excitement for him as he entered heaven last week with all of its glories to explore. Rory and Mya were there in the crowd to welcome him home along with your Mom and family members, and to start showing him the favorite sights. What a wonderful reunion we all have to look forward to. Know that we love you and continue our prayers for the peace and comfort that only the Lord will give you during this time of loss.
Our Love in Jesus,
Royce & Gwenda
