Richard and Tonya Layton send their condolences to the immediate family and to Barbara and Richard.
I am so sorry for your loss. At sad times like this I draw a measure of comfort from John 528,29 where Jesus speaks of the resurrection hope. I know that at present nothing can remove the excruciating pain that you are feeling, but God promises that death and all causes of sorrow will be eliminated in the near future (Revelation 214).
My heart and prayers go out to all of the family. Wayne was a good man and will be missed by everyone.

My deepest condolences for the loss of your loved one. I would like to share something that helped our family during such a difficult time. Revelation 213,4 promises that God will wipe away all tears from their eyes and death will be no more . I hope these words will bring comfort to your family as it did ours.
From the Chowan University Football Staff… Thoughts and prayers are with the family of Mr William Daughtridge. May Mr Wayne rest in peace. Once a BraveHawk, always a BraveHawk.
