Allan and Glenda, words cannot describe how Candy, Allen, Cheryl and I feel of the loss of Paul Wayne. Candy was his buddy, Cheryl talked to Paul at Temple Inland, and I remember the 3 little kids who grew close to us. Your family will be in thoughts and prayers as well as you. The (Arnold) family, Betty Steele, Candy Womack, Cheryl Daniels and Allen Arnold

Andrea, I am so very sorry for your loss. I, too, lost my husband at an early age with a young child - eventually time will lessen your pain. Paul Wayne will always be with you in Brittan & Banks. What a blessing children are! Lean on the Lord and He will supply the strength you need. Allan & Glenda - I simply cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. I was with Brad on Friday afternoon when he got a call about Paul Wayne, we were shocked. So many times things happen that we can't understand, and this is another of those times. No words will help ease the pain you are all feeling right now, but know that many prayers are being offered up for the entire family. God comfort, strengthen and bless you all.

Please know we are praying for both the Ray and Britt families. May God be with you during this difficult time. Trey, Jami, & Joe Branch

I am so sorry about the loss of your son, Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I cannot even imagine what all of you are going through but I do want you to know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Alan and Glenda, - words are so futile at a time like this. Please know that we know somewhat the pain you are going through. My dad died May 27th, and then on Father's day my brother's 23 year old son drowned at Lake Greeson. I see what this is doing to my brother and it just tears my heart out. So...our hearts, our prayers, and our thoughts are with you each hour. If there is anything that Buddy or I can do for you, please do not hesitate to call on us. We will continue to keep you in our hearts. Much love, Sherry, Buddy and Dustin Ray

But above all, know that prayers are being offered to God on your behalf from friends and family near and far. We will continue to pray for God's strength and peace in the days and weeks to come. As Christians, we mourn, but we do not mourn without hope, for we know we will see our loved ones again. In Christ, Debbie Riggs Puett
