Vicki, Wayne was always a great friend to me, my family and Adams Wholesale Company. He was professional but yet always friendly and helpful to us. We enjoyed both of you so much when you were our business neighbors on South Church Street, God Bless You and Your Family at this time, Fred Adams
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. May God grant you strength.
Vickie Angie, & Pat Thinking of you. I am so sorry in the loss of Wayne! He was a special friend of both Fred and myself. We will miss him and my regret is not stopping by your agency to just say hello. He was on my mind a couple of weeks ago and it was my intent to stop by but time slipped by. I have many fond memories of him coming to the bank daily always smiling and loved to cut up with everyone. And memories of Wayne transporting our horses Cricket and Skippy to Red Oak. Cricket didn’t like loading on a trailor but Wayne with his love of horses had no problem with her. Just wanting to share with you!!
My sincere condolences to the Bridgers family for your loss. Certainly Lewis will be missed! During this time of sorrow, mediating on Jehovah God promises found in his word the Bible, can truly be a source of comfort-2 Cor. 13, 4. At Isa 258, Jehovah makes a promise regarding the end of death! He lets us know that he is going to swallow up death, and wipe away all the tears of sorrow! What a wonderful time that will be! At John 528, 29, Jehovah gives us a promise through his son Jesus Christ, that we can be reunited with our dead loved ones by means of the resurrection hope! Please feel free to check out our website http://www.jw.org. When you are on the website, go to publications, then Books and Brochures, and search for the book What does the Bible really Teach and please read Chapter 7 Real Hope for Your Loved Ones who have died. I’m sure you will enjoy the scriptural information. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at [emailprotected] May your family be comforted!
I would like to send my condolences, during this time of grief. May God continue to watch over you & your family in this time of need. What a coarse of comfort, we have, thou Gods holy word the Bible. John 1125 tells us of the resurrection. What a great hope we have.
