Michael Elling wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Family; When we moved to west Tennessee, Wayne was already an established man and pillar of Fatih Lutheran Church of Union City. His example of being concerned about church affairs and his conduct as a Christian is that of one to emulate. He will be missed. --Michael and Monica Elling, fellow members.”
