I was sorry to hear of Wayne’s passing. I would like to extend my condolences to the family during their time of grief. Revelation 21:4 provides us with comfort and hope, “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
