Our sincere Christian sympathy to you, Carol, and family in the “home-going” of your dear husband and father, Wayne. He was a wonderful Friendship mentor and a fine Christian “brother” in Christ. May God fill you with His strength, peace, and love in the days ahead. Sending you our love, encouragement, and prayers, Doug and Ann Marsman
