wade took me and my sister for plane ride in his plane right before he died

I can think of no words that adequately reflect the pain that you feel or provide but a modicum of comfort in these difficult days. Your families have been such a big part of our community for many years and we have a collective history. Please know that you have friends, neighbours and associates that grieve with you and will help shoulder the burden of this loss. May your faith give you strength and warm memories give you comfort. Blessings to you all. Greg, Melise, Maiya & Megan Sears

I got to know Wade while I was attending Olds College 1995-1997. We weren't in the same Major but attended most of the same classes together. I got to know him even better in the Christian Club, shooting pool, jackpot table team roping and swimming at Didsbury pool. I was shocked to hear that Wade and his family were in such a tragic accident. What a hard blow for the rest of the family. I encourage you to take comfort in the joy that they all knew and loved our Lord. When my mother died in an accident in 2008, my oldest daughter Hayley was 4 at the time. She showed the amazing faith of a child when she said, "we can be sad but we don't have to be really sad." Your family is in our prayers every day.

Dear family. We want to express to you our deepest condolences. We grieve with you and for Chevy, Remington and Indya. As many, we too have such fond memories of Wade. The first year we were married Wade was a pre schooler and we have memories of him on the farm and taking care of him at times. A memory we have looked back on with some good smiles and laughs this past week was when we went to Sturgis on our motor bike with another couple from our church and Wade and Warren and a friend of Wade's joined us for part of the trip. Wade was forever bringing us a laugh, and oh the fun he and his young friend had chasing the wind. As we've read what some of his/their friends have shared these past days we have been so touched. He and Aubrey lived life well. They served the Lord and showed His love to others in so many ways. The little girls who you will all miss so very much. The word of God tells us "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted". Thankful we get to put our trust in the Lord and that Jesus is always with us. With love and continued prayers for you and all the families. Scot & Kathy

Sending our sympathies and prayers and letting you know our hearts go out to you at this time of sadness. I went to school with Bob at Canuck and remember with fondness the wonderful faith filled Balisky family in our community. May God be with you and grant you peace. Sincerely, Joan (Lozeron) and Terry Wispinski

I know mere words cannot begin to express the sorrow I felt when I heard the news. The loss of Wadeâ??s vital energy and Aubreyâ??s sweet exuberance will be felt for so many years to come. May the grace of the Lord comfort you all in this time of need and in the days to come. Deepest sympathies from my family to all of you.

Dear Mrs. Balisky, Lois, Celeste, and Susan, We have been heart broken to learn of the passing of Wade, Aubrey, Jewel, and Fleur. We are praying for all of you and Chevey, Remington, and Indya for strength and guidance at this very difficult time. With deepest sympathy, Eleanora, Janice & Marilyn Huber

I will miss knowing Wade and Aubrey are in the area. Good people. Good neighbours. Good community people. They invested so much in the lives of so many people. Always neighbourly. Always sociable. Wade was an enthusiastic and successful farmer and Aubrey a skilled and creative photographer. Both devoted parents. People of faith committed to honouring their Heavenly Father. Seeking to spread His love to those around them. Iâ??m sorry I wonâ??t see their little girls, Jewel and Fleur, grow and blossom and continue to hold up the light of a loving family and a compassionate God. I ache for Chevy, Remmington and Indya and the difficult journey before them. For them and the rest of your family, the hole left by your loss seems a dark and painful void. To say Iâ??m praying for you seems so meager and small. But with a heavy heart I bare witness to your pain and trust that the God of all comfort will give what you need when you need it.

How Life changes in an instant with such a tragic accident.So very sorry for your loss of Wade, Aubrey,Jewel and Fleur.My heartfelt sympathy, and prayers during a very difficult time.

Celeste, Susan and families. Our heartfelt condolences in the tragic loss of your family members. May the happy moments and time spent together comfort you as you go through your grieving. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this most difficult time. Doug, Pauline,Jason and Tyson Purcha

Jon and I were saddened to hear this news. We have been praying for the children and families. Wade and Jon were roommates for a short time at Olds College, and Wade's energy and humor were something we enjoyed during our time at college and Inter Varsity Christian Fellowship. Hugs to you all.

7-8 yrs ago I happened to run into Wades family at Edmonton airport, my wife had our young kids playing at a little kids area but came to me and said a few other â??Wild kidsâ?? showed up and was too rough for us. I looked and laughed and we all got to visit for a while. The joy of knowing the Lord was evident in Wades life it was obvious he knew Jesus. What a legacy Bob and Wade leave. Much respect for these men. BJ

Uplifting you all in my thoughts and prayers. Praying especially that you will be immersed in the communion of the saints with your church & community as you grieve together. And may you experience the deep peace that surpasses understanding as there will always be more questions than answers this side of heaven. My deepest sympathies to your family & extended families.

Hello..we were so sad and more to hear of this tragedy. We,Joanne and I,want you to know that we are sharing in your deep sorrow.We have included you and all in our prayers. Arlens

Please accept condolences from Robert and myself on this tremendous loss of this young couple and their two youngest children. Words are so inadequate at times like this. I am so sorry for the overwhelming sense of loss and sadness you must be feeling. There is a part of my mind that protests...too soon...too young! Then a part remembers the scripture, â??itâ??s appointed unto man a timeâ??, and wonder if they could have had an appointment? We will never know, until the other side. In the meantime, we send you our love and respect, and will send heavenward our prayers for you!

To all the family of both Wade and Aubrey, I am truly saddened to hear of the passing of Wade, Aubrey and the two youngest children. This is such a tragedy that no family should have to go through. I send you my heartfelt sympathy and I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Much love, Nadine Adolf

Our hearts are so heavy for you as we mourn the loss of Wade your son and brother, Aubrey daughter in law and sister and two little angels Jewel and Fleur. We can't imagine the pain your family is feeling. Just know you are close in our thoughts and prayers.

Words cannot express the sorrow we feel for the loss you are experiencing. We are sending our love and prayers to each of you and the other families of this tragedy. May the God of peace fill your hearts even when it does not seem you will ever be peaceful again. Much love George and Golda
