"Servant of God, well done. Battle fought, Victory won." There are three steps to heaven - out of self; into Christ; into Glory. Wayne J. Hawes took these first two steps in life and lived a beautiful life in Christ. Now he has taken the third step where there is no more weeping, no pain, no disappointment. We feel he is satisfied now and that he is reaping his great reward reserved for the faithful. On Saturday, July 3, 1999, Wayne Hawes passed into Glory. He was born February 22, 1999, to the late Jack and Josephine Dallas Hawes. He led an exemplary life and served his Church, com munity and fellow man with his tireless and unselfish efforts.

Acknowlegments Words are inadequate to express our sincere thanks for all the many kind expressions of love showered on us during the illness and death of our loved one. We pray God s continued blessings on each of you. A Tribute The Family May the work I ve done speak for me May the work I ve done speak for me When I m resting in my grave, there is nothing that can be said May the work I ve done speak for me The work I ve done, it seems so small, Sometimes it seems like, nothing at all, But when I stand before my God, I want to hear Him say, "Well Done", May the work I ve done speak for me. May the life I lived speak for me May the life I lived speak for me When the best I tried to live, my mistakes, He will forgive May the life I lived speak for me.
