My heart breaks for your family. Rev McWain was a very special man. I have fond memories of him growing up. He always had a smile. As a child I was scared of my own shadow but he was always easy to talk to. He was an amazing grandfather to Preston. I believe that he and my dad are in heaven comparing notes and laughing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
