Debra and family, Please know our thoughts and prayers are you in this most difficult time. Here is a poem that I hope gives you some comfort. Love, Melody and Dean Korgel

Miss Me, But Let Me Go
Author Unknown
When I come to the end of the road,
and the sun has set for me.
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that was once shared.
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take, and each must go alone.
It s all a part of the master s plan, a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know.
Bear your sorrow in good deeds. Miss me, but let me go.

Debra,

So sorry to hear about Wayne. He was one of my best friends when I lived in Minot and we worked at Mr. Steak. I tried to call him when I got the chance to come home just to see how he was. My sincere condolences. I will miss him a great deal. I'll keep you in my prayers.

From: John Hanson

I'm so sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. I was in same squadron with Wayne for many years and played together in the units softball and bowling leagues. He was easily the best athlete and could run like a deer. He was the most likeable person to be around and was always smiling and making everyone else laugh no matter what setting we were in. I read the online paper to try and keep up with Minot since I was there for 6+ yrs. His name jumped right out at me and when I saw his picture I knew it was the same person, many memories came flooding back. It's a great loss and you have my sympathies.

I am sorry to hear about Wayne's passing. I grew up with Wayne in Seymour Ct. Wayne not only could run fast he held the first high jump record at Seymour high. The record I believed lasted almost a decade. Wayne was a good friend and will always be remembered.
