August 27, 2009

I can remember all the good times when Uncle Walter and Aunt Rachel came down to visit us in Florida, and how happy it always made my Dad to see his older brother. Helping my Dad travel to Virginia to see them in their later years was a real treat for me, and I'm grateful to have been a part of their reunions. My sister Vernie is right, having all the brothers and sisters together again (including Howard who died in 1915 before our Dad was even born) must be a glorious thing. We'll miss you Uncle Walter, but we praise God knowing that He's taking great care of you and all the rest of our loved ones that are with you.

Please know that Uncle Walter is in our hearts forever! What a wonderful man who had a great smile! All the brothers and sisters are once again all together. In love and peace, we are sorry to hear of his passing.
