Pat & Walt, my heart goes out. I don't know what to say, this isn't supposed to happen. Walter was working with me not that long ago and it was like old times in the neighborhood. He was a great person and will be sadly missed.
You are in my heart and have my deepest sympathy.

Pat & Walter:

No parent should have to suffer the pain of saying goodbye to their child.
Cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through. We feel terrible that we cannot be there to pay our respects. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both. When we come up in December we will give you a call and maybe we can get together for a cup of coffee. If there is anything we could possibly do please contact us - Sue has our numbers.

Love, Shirley & Ray Martin
