Great Man of God
So sorry to hear your loss, I knew Wayne quite well from the old days at the First Baptist Church on 5th Avenue. He was always talking about his Savior and wanted others to know Him too! I am sure he will be deeply missed but just for a little while.
Thank you so much Tim !! Yes,
Thank you so much Tim !! Yes, I remember those days at the First Baptist Church on 5th Ave. Good and memorable times. If it hadn't been for my brother, I never would have grown up in First Baptist. He is the one who led me to the Lord when I was 11 years old. He indeed was a Soul Winner and was still witnessing to those who took care of him while on Hospice. Yes, the return of Christ is drawing nigh. Thank you for your kind words on Wayne's behalf Tim, it is really appreciated. God Bless !!

He LOVED his scroll saw and making beautiful things and he did it well and truly missed not being able to do it any longer after his eye surgery. I too have some of those beautiful ornaments.
