    Dear Jeanne, Michelle and Family.

    I'm so sorry to hear the news of Wades's death. I want to offer you the use of my guest cabin - close to Brunette's Twin Spits home. It is small with has a kitchen/living area, bathroom and two bedrooms. One with a queen size bed. The other has a twin bed and bunk beds. I am flying home tomorrow (Sunday) and will be getting in late in the evening. You can call me on my home phone (360-638-1208) and leave a message or on my cell phone at 360-710-0646 if you would like to use it.

    Again, my deepest sympathy.

    As we all grieve today, I am remembering Wade's energy, his wonderful smile, & especially his laugh. A unique, Wade Brunette, chuckle. When he smiled he had an amazing sparkle in his eyes that it is one very beautiful memory.

    To the rescuers, thank you from all our hearts for your incredible, selfless & tireless efforts, going beyond the call of duty to find Wade. Rest assured that friends & family of Wade remain forever grateful.

    10 years ago I lost my younger Brother, Matt, on Mt. McGinnis in Alaska. The only saving grace during a shockingly painful time on this earth was all the people who surrounded us, showed their love, shared their grief with us, wrote us cards, & remembered special moments out loud with us. Just hearing a heartfelt “I am sorry for your loss,” was a comfort. If one had nothing to say, a simple hug or hand on our shoulder was enough.

    The biggest comfort of all comes from praying to the Lord to welcome Wade home. May our Lord be with us and comfort us, especially Wade's family, every hour of every day this next year as we most deeply feel his loss.
    God bless you Wade…

He makes me lie down in green pastures, and leads me beside the waters of peace; he renews life within me, and for his name’s sake guides me in the right path. Even though I walk through a valley dark as death, I fear no evil, for thou art with me, they staff and thy crook are my comfort.’ Psalm 23

    Our prayers are with you at this time. We have prayed in two specific ways:

    1. That this will be a time of growing closer as a family. That God will bless you all with peace, the peace that "surpases our understanding" and transcends the frustrations and tragedies of life (Phillipians 4:7).

    2. That for you both, Julie and Geritt, God will grant a new season of favor while in Indonesia. That He will bring a season of joy and great victory after this season of mourning (Jeremiah 31:13).

    We will remain in contact with you. Our prayers will not stop for you all.

    In Christ

    There are never the right words to express how deeply sad we are that you all have to endure this loss. Wade will be truly missed by everyone who knew him no matter where they crossed his trail through life.

    My deepest sympathies to Jeanne and all the family. It grieves me to read the news that no one wanted to see.
