Wayne's Words
Sue and I want to say a “BIG THANK YOU” to Jack & Judy Megee and Barbara Neptune for organizing the “Dessert & Coffee Reception” for us Sunday afternoon. It was a wonderful three hours of visiting with folks and sharing memories. We also want to express our appreciation to all those who brought desserts and helped make the afternoon so enjoyable. We will take fond memories with us on our move back home to Indiana. Thanks again to everyone who helped with yesterday’s special day and to all who came to wish us well. Love, Pastor Wayne |
