Wayne's Memory Lives On.......
Wayne Harrup started the Waynesboro
Paranormal Research Group in August 2005.
He did this with the support of his wonderful wife, Janie,
and friend, Mark Shinn.
Wayne had always had an interest in the "Great
Unknown" with questions that many of us have. He had
experiences during his lifetime with paranormal
happenings. He was very spiritual, discussing what is
awaiting us around the corner in the "other world" after
this physical existence has come to an end. His spiritual
path led him to a place of peace with his life.
He started this "Ghost -Group", as he used to jokingly
say..... "because--- I almost WAS ONE !!"...He had a
great sense of humor, and great intelligence.
He had a massive stroke in 2004 and came close to
leaving this physical world.
Wayne was very talented, as he was a professional
musician, who wrote his own songs and poems. They
seemed to roll effortlessly off his lips.
He was a generous, caring friend, and a loving husband.
He wanted this group, and its members to be the
best-trained, professional, and knowledgeable as
possible. Lets keep his dream alive.....for he is with us,
still, and we will not forget him.
Wayne,
May the air carry your spirit gently.
May the fire release your soul.
May the water cleanse you.
May the earth receive you.
May the wheel turn again, and bring you to rebirth.
Blessed Be, My Friend

/Begin Again
A silenced voice, a silent prayer
still there be no sign of fear
Not due to bravery-
another cause, I do see.
Disease, it works it awful spell-
a clammy hand, I can't dispel.
In the end, its natures hand
that guides me over, to that far land.
I can romp, and kick and buck
and curse about my foul luck
but what was it, that I said
even though nearly dead?
I have run my allotted time
Set me free and let me fly
Up and up into the mist.
Still some hearts I will miss
Then one day in the Secret Grove
with no pain, we will show.
We will play and hop and skip
Live once more in perfect bliss.
Friend of nature, friend of man,
At Peace at Home
Begin Again.
