  14. Barbara, I just heard about your loss. Thinking and praying for you and your family. Wayne was a great guy. I remember when Jimmy and I went with you and Wayne to get married. It seems like just yesterday. I was hoping to see you both again one day at the Harding/West Reunion.

  15. Barbara and Girls, I need not tell you what a wonderful man Wayne was. Gene & I both loved knowing him. He was a great encourager in Gene’s early days as a new Christian. Oh how he, Robert Thomas and Gene loved the fellowship hall meetings as they competed to see who could eat the most. He loved the Lord and it was so evident as that love filtered in his life, to those of us around him. As Sheila said above, Heaven is sweeter now and we rejoice when we see him again. Barbara, please know that you are all in our prayers, and relying on our Heavenly Father, to bring you peace in knowing where Wayne/your Dad are and you too will see him again.
    Love Gene & Jean Scott
