Not sure what to say?

I have been watching the Waltons episodes daily on Tubi tv. Oh I wish I could have lived in that house during your time there. I didn't know of your passing at the time but just found out about it now. I hope that God wrapped his arms around your family at your passing and that the Angels guided you to your forever home with God. Thank you so much for sharing your life with the world. RIP
