John 14:1-3 (NIV) – 1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”
Wayne was our driver years ago. I have been with the Subway company since 1998 & have NEVER had a driver as good as Wayne! He was a GREAT man too. Always was talking about his lovely wife & awesome daughters. He will be missed by us all, we’re praying for his family. We are saddened during this time but take heart in knowing he knew the Lord & we will see him again one day! GOD Bless you all!
You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God help you and your loved ones through this difficult time. God bless you!
