Family -
You are in our prayers. Many years ago when I was just a young child, I recall Wayne in college at NBC along with my father, Charles. I know they are now rejoicing together with the one they served so faithfully while here on this earth. May God give you special peace in these days.

Dee and family, We are so sorry to here about Wayne Larry. He will be missed greatly but he will never have to hurt for another breath. He has always been an angel to us, afterall he preached my Daddy's funeral. We were so happy that for a short time he was our pastor in Woodland Park. I know God will be your strength and your peace. Can't you just see Uncle Wayne, Wayne Larry and my Dad singing in heaven. A very sad day for us but a great day for our loved ones in heaven.

Love You all,

Pastor Albright married my husband and I over 20 years ago. Dee, we worked together at First National Bank in JC for a short time. He will be remembered by my husband Alan and I fondly. I enjoyed his jovial nature and his laid-back ways. You are in our prayers
