A Fitting Obituary

I am finally home and trying to check my email. Today has been a long day. I woke up at 5:30 and couldn't go back to sleep. I finally got out of bed and went to Starbucks so I could use their Wi-Fi. It was the first time I'd been to a Starbucks for this and wound up spending about $6-$8 just to log on.

Finally, the funeral came. I was a wreck. I had tried to go over what I would say and had never made it through all the way without breaking down. But I had some folks praying for me...even one praying for me throughout the message. And I got through it. Now it's over, I've made the 4 hour trek home, and I'm beat. I'm going to sleep. But first, I wanted thank each of you for your prayers and to share what I called Wayne's obit. It comes from the song Good Man by Emerson Drive.

When all is said and done
I wanna be the one
Who lived a good life, loved a good wife, and always helped someone in trouble.

On the day they lay me down
I want everyone to gather ‘round
And say he was a father, brother, neighbour and a friend
He was a good man!

This was Wayne. And I have promised God and myself and now you that I will do what I can to help his legacy continue. And when I die, I only hope that it can be said that I was half as good a man as Wayne McCord. My brother...neighbor...friend.

Good-bye brother.

And good-night to everyone else.

In the love of Christ,
greg
