Dearest Lana, Pastor Wayne and family,
Our deepest sympathy to all of you on the death of your beautiful wife, mother,
mother-in-law, sister, and grandmother. How very lucky you all have been to share your life with such a wonderful person. I was blessed to have met her one Sunday when she was visiting Pastor Wayne and Lana’s church here in El Campo and from that day forward she greeted me with warmth and Christian love.
Our prayer is that the Lord will wrap you all in his loving arms and give you peace in the days ahead. Please cherish your memories and let them always remind you of the happy times you spent with her. I will remember her always.
Our love,
Larry and Carol Wied
Scott and Sandy, we were so sorry to hear this sad news. Somehow we missed knowing of your loss. We love and respect your family and Wacille and share your sense of loss.
