We will miss Mr. Wally's smile.
Used to enjoy listening to his stories of his younger days. Glad he is with his Lord and Savior and no longer suffering.

Jackie & Family,
May the Lord be your comfort during this time of loss. I pray that He will give you joy as you think back on all of the memories you have had with Wally. I will miss his smiling face as he asks me how the ministry here is South Africa is. He was always burdened for the Zulu children to hear the Gospel. Yes, he will be missed, but we have a peace that He is now with our Lord.
Praying for you,
Gina Frey
