Tribute

Wayne passed away peacefully at Powell River General Hospital after a hard-fought battle with brain cancer. He leaves to mourn his Mom and Dad, Al and Joan; his brother John; his four children Miranda, Allyson, Andrew and Ryan and three grandchildren.

We would like to thank Dr. White and Dr. Hoffert, fourth floor nurses, hospice and especially Phyllis and Barry Hay for all of the care and support.

No service by request. In lieu of flowers, donations in Wayne’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

River of Tears (written for Abe by Ricky Fehr).

These words are my tears that I now give to you

I have the faith you’ll know what to do

Hold your head high as you walk through the door

Because all the tears cried are accounted for.

There’s now a stream that’s started to flow

And it grows larger from people you know

And when you feel it’s your time to part

This river of tears will help heal a heart.

Believe there is something, a happy place,

We will remember, your smiling face.

If this grey cloud, could have a silver lining

We would watch the night sky for a new star shining.
