Wayne Goodrich Obituary

Dad
I look at your pictures everyday. I still miss you so much. You were always there for me. Happy times, sad times. You are still there for me. All I have to do is close my eyes and breath deep and you are there for me. We put Maxwell and Kadi to rest with you so you would always have a warm pup to sleep on your feet to keep them warm and someone to play with, Kadi will bring back the ball, but Maxx will just run pick it up and chew on it. So you'll have to go play catch the dog to get the ball back. The kids are growing up so much. Jessica went and joined the Air Force. She didn't think she could do all the water with the Navy. I miss you so PaPa. I had a dream about you last night. You were straightening up the shop and lining up all the truck trailers. You starteled Budd and he jumped 3 feet in the air. I hope you are happy and warm.

Dad, I still miss you everyday and have lots of memories. I come to this site since we have left you in Lehigh and it is so far away. Every time I pass your photo I remember your urn setting right there and miss you all over again so I go to my photos and look at the ones Mom and I took just before we left you at the home place. It is so beautiful and I know why you loved it so. I know that in heaven you have had a good visit with Bill now that he is there too. I try to remember only the happy times and not your suffering so. I love you so and know that you are always with me in my heart. Until we meet again in peace. Love you San

I can't beleive it has been almost a year already, I still remember as it was yesterday. I could't bring myself to come to this spot until now as my heart is still breaking everyday for you Dad, although I know how at peace you must be now with our Lord. Thank you Dad for being my father. Until we meet again in Heaven, know that you are with me everyday in my thoughts and my heart. Rest in Peace with Our Lord. I love you so. Always Your Daughter,San

We Miss you PaPa. Thank you for all the fun times we spent at your house, playing in the timber and the shop while you were there. There was always some good ol cars to play in and check out too!

We really miss you. You were really, really fun. You were a good man to have around. We will love you for ever and ever and ever.

Some of my favorite memories of Wayne are some of the stories he shared with me when he visited. We would sit out in my driveway and look up at the jets flying overhead and he would tell stories of his time in the military and his times as a trucker and as a mechanic. He definately had a full life. Full of challenges, adventure, Love, pain, and sometimes mischief. Wayne was a man who definately had "Been there, Done that". I am so sorry to see him go but at the same time I am so happy that he is out of pain...Wayne, go proudly, knowing that you have lived a full and complete life and raised 3 awesome daughters, but one in particular. She was such a work of art that I married her. We Love and miss you. May God bless you like you blessed me with Laura.

Every time I think of you I can close my eyes and see you clearly. But everytime I have to admit to myself that you are really gone, I cry. I feel so much pain it is intolerable.

In families, I believe that everyone has one special person who they just love unconditionally and cannot ever get mad at. For me that is you. I always wished you were here with me or that I was there with you. You were my favorite person, my papa was the best. Now I guess I'll just have to wish you are happy. I miss being in the shop while you worked, riding on the lawn mower that you just fixed. Damn things were always broke. I can still smell the smell of your house, and I remember watching you cook dinner and I remember when we would go to the tavern. I remember watching the news with you while spinning around in the fuzzy chair. Meghan and I always fought over that chair. So fuzzy... I still have the rocks you gave me, and I remember the birthday party I had at your house. Geeze Meghan who's Beve toilet? I remember you were the first one there after I crashed the car into the shed. I remember the day you told me you loved me too. I remember it all, but I am so afraid that I'll forget. Memories are so empty. and yet I hold them so dear. I love you so much, loosing you.... is awful. I will miss you forever. And love you even longer.



One soul gone, another left behind.

I didn't know Wayne, but I do know his daughter Laura who is married to my brother Doug. I am so sorry for your loss and pray that with each day you will be comforted knowing that you will see him again. The Lord feels your pain, he feels all of our pain and keeps our tears. Ps 56:8 "You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book." Let Him be your comfort, He promises it. Love, Tammy for all the Etheridge's

Go in peace Grandpa. I am confident that we will meet again in heaven. I am so thankful that we were able to spend time together over the last few years.



I love you,

Trent

My heart breaks every time I think of you and the pain and misery you felt in those last few days. I am so very very sad to have lost you, but am so grateful that Mom, San, Shari and I were with you in the end...that I was able to tell you how much I loved you, and to see the look of wonder in your eyes and peace on your face when you left us...don't worry Daddy, I will always have a plan and most importantly, I will always remember....I will see you Heaven Dad, may you rest in peace with the Lord.

I always felt a closeness with you that may never have been verbally expressed but still exists. Perhaps it's because we shared the same birthday, perhaps it was something more. Either way, you have left your mark on my life and will never be forgotten nor replaced.

I love you Papa, and will miss you dearly. Hopefully I'll see you on the other side when it is my time but until then, rest well and I wish you the best on your journeys.

Goddess bless

Love always,

Meghan

We have lost our Dad tonight. It was so sad, yet so good--He had so much pain and I believe that he gave up-- We all know how miserable he was, We all helped in his last hours by holding and comforting him each in our own way.

How sad is ones heart

when a loved one does part?

The sorrow just grows

yet my heart does know

that he is at peace with himself and all of the world.

Where is my Dad? In my heart where I can touch him everyday, even though he is so very far away.

Where is your Dad? Right beside you. Reach out and take his hand while you still can.

Now that Wayne is with the Lord and his work and suffering is completed on earth may the good memories of his life be with you forever. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
