Our community once again has been struck with loss and tragedy with the sudden passing of Wayne Beacham.
Sincere sympathy is extended to Wayne’s three children, Mathew, Megan, and Bradley, his parents, Brian and Marg, and to all other family and friends who are struggling with his passing.
Wayne was a kind, gentle man who loved life, the outdoors, and most of all his family.

Robin’s 2¢:
A husband was hospitalized for a few days, and his wife reported that his dog really missed him.
“She spends the night at the front door, awaiting your return,” the wife said.
“What an example of true love,” the husband replied. “I wonder if you’d be that concerned about me?”
“Honey,” his wife answered. “If you were gone overnight, and I didn’t know where you were, you can be sure I’d be waiting for you at the front door.”
