Dear Schultz Family,
Our hearts go out to you as you grieve at Wayne's death. I have very wonderful memories of your loved one when we were in prep and college and Sem together. He was one of the most loving and kind people I have ever known. We will all miss him. But I also rejoice with you as his suffering ends and he is with the Lord he shared with so many, many people. May the Lord bring all of us together again in His Honme and ours. God be with all of you. I am sorry that I will not be able to attend the services but I will be undergoing surgery for cancer on Thursday.
God bless your family.
In Jesus' Name,
Larry Zessin

Pastor Wayne was an inspiration to us all. He was always their to offer encouragement and support whether it being Soccer Bible Camp,Friendship Weekend or any other event in Outreach. Most of all he was a wonderful man and friend. I will miss him and look forward to the day where I will see him again in heaven.
God's Peace and Grace,

To the Schulz Family,
We feel so blessed and priveledged to have had the opportunity to meet Pastor Wayne. He was always such a pleasant man to visit with when he would come to South Dakota and visit our church, St. John's of Mazeppa Township, where his son Pastor Jason serves. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
With sincere sympathy,
David and Dixie Korth

Dear Anita and family,
It seems not long ago in life's little day that I had the privilege of knowing you as young instructors at DMLC. Who would know that down life's road a little furher, our families would share joy and blessing when our granddaughter,Dawn,married your son Joel. We thank the Lord for the many years of Christian service you and your husband gave to the Church for all of us. It must have been a great comfort to Wayne to see his children and grand- children grow in numbers and in faith and in service to our Savior.You will all certainly miss him. But for him a new and glorious Day has dawned.
Our sins all forgiven, we'll meet in God's heaven;
no sickness or sorrow dare touch His Restored.
There angels will greet us and loved ones will meet us.
no grief is remembered and Christ is adored!
