"Wayne and Karen and family, I was so saddened to hear the news about your precious son. I cannot imagine what you are experiencing at this time, but know that I have been praying for you. Prayers for peace, and that God's wonderful love will surround you at this time and uplift you. I am sorry we were not able to attend the funeral, we were out of town. I was thinking about you at 2 pm Sunday. I will be in touch to see if you need anything, even just an ear to listen. Love you all, Cathy Clark"

"Karen and Wayne, The heartache you are experiencing has no words. We both have children who have struggled with drug addiction and unless you have been there, you cannot understand it. When you try to help your child and it is not successful, it is devastating. Both of you are in our prayers to have the strength to make it through this very difficult time."

"Karen, When I saw the first email from the church, my heart sank and I couldn't believe what I was reading. I know there are no words to console your broken heart, but you and your family are in my prayers to hopefully receive our Lord's peace that passes all understanding. In Christ, Darlene Barnwell"
