Wade Found

SAR teams found Wade today. Unfortunately, he didn't make it. Many already know, but Julie and Kathryn are still driving to Lone Pine from LA and don't know yet. Please don't call or text them, as we want to wait for them to arrive to tell them.

    Michelle,
    Thank you so much for keeping us all up to date regarding Wade. So sorry about the outcome. I had the pleasure on many occassions to hike with him and have some grand conversations. He was a wonderful man and hiking friend. He will be missed. My thoughts are with you all. Karen Wiggins

May our hearts and prayers be with you all. RM,CP,JD,WS,JRB,SB .....

    Michelle, I am so very sorry. My heart goes out to you and Jeanne. Wishing I could be there to hold and hug everyone, especially when Julie & Kathryn arrive...
    Paul & Mary know. I called them when I saw the PR. We decided it was best to let Julie tell Gerrit & kids rather than any of us interceding in any way. Although Gerrit may have read the blog on his own by now... I am sure you are all feeling shocked right now. I, like you, really believed he could make it through... We are so sorry for you, Jeanne, and the rest of the family - especially the grandkids too. We will be checking in on you all in the coming weeks. Love Tanya & Aaron

    Jeanne & Michelle,

    This is Jeanine again. Lori & I went to Mom & Dad's house after I read the news. So they both know. Mike & I are thinking of you.
    Love, Jeanine

    I am so very sad to hear the news of Wade. I am lucky I knew him. During all those teenage years kicking around the Brunette household, Wade was always a friend, supporter and dad-away-from-home. He was a really good man and I will remember him fondly.
    Please let me know if there's anything I can do here to make your return home easier. Really. 360-362-2550. My thoughts and love are with you.

    I am so sorry to hear this news. I spent much of my childhood at the Brunette's. I went sailing and hiking and did so many cool things I would not have had the chance to do without them. He was a very, vewy kind man. Michelle, you especially are in my thoughts and prayers. Give me a call if you want to talk -- 530-848-8060.

    Thank you for all of your kind words and comfort. I will miss him deeply. He was without question a man of character and a father worth emulating. Mom, Kathryn, Michelle and Julie, I am praying for you and look forward to being with you upon your return to Seattle.
