My deepest sympathies to Jannette and the family.
Jannette and Dustin and family, growing up Wade and myself were close. But after we got older did not see each other except for rare occasions and I always regretted that. I was very sad to learn of Wade’s sickness and now his passing. Mine and Leigh’s prayers are with you as y’all go this this time of grieving, but I would like to leave you with these words.
“There is in this valley a beating heart. It is always and ever there. And when I am gone, it will beat for you and when you are gone, it will beat for your children and theirs, forever. Forever. Until there is no water, no air, no green in the spring or gold in the autumn, no stars in the sky or wind from the north. And when you cannot speak, it will speak for you. When you cannot see, it will be your eyes. When you cannot remember, it will be your memory. It will never forget you. And when you cannot be faithful, it will save a place for your return. This is a gift to you. It cannot be taken away. It is yours forever. It is the narrative of this world, and the scrapbook of your own small life, and, when you are gone into ash and darkness and the grave, it will tell your story.”
