Craig, Sorry to hear about the passing of your brother Wade. In high school I only knew Wade from a distance; however, he was always a kind and gentle man. May his resting in the arms of our Savior, Jesus Christ, be all so sweet and comforting to your family!
Wade was a good friend. He was always positive despite his health challenges. He said he wouldn’t allow himself to dwell on the negative. Wade had a great sense of humor. He was organized and knew exactly what he wanted. I will miss him and look forward to seeing him again someday.
Craig,
I just heard today of Wade’s passing. I am the nurse that filled in on occasion. I am very sorry for your loss. He was a very pleasant man to work with and had great patience with me when I was uncertain of his cares! I’m glad he had a solid faith in his Creator and is now in a healthy body.
