Not sure what to say?

words cannot express the loss I share with you. The high school days we shared are still fond in my mind. may God usher him home on the wings of angels.

Words can not express how we feel about the loss of our beloved Uncle Waller. It is with heavy hearts that we can not be there with family today to say goodbye. Uncle Walter will be forever in our hearts and we have so many precious memories of all the summers we had together when we came home in the summer. Best time ever was at the baseball games!!! May God give us all the strength to endure this sad and difficult time but we know that Walter is at peace with no more pain and suffering. In...

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. GOD Bless.

Steven, I was so sorry to hear of your loss! You and your entire family are in my prayers with the assurance that our heavenly Father is close, able to comfort you in this very difficult time. May He continue to bless and keep you all, as it is when you are weakest, that He is strong and able to carry you through!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
T.E. Cooke- Overton Funeral Home Family

Obituary

Walter's Obituary

Life is a glorious gift that should be cherished by the living and remembered for those who have transitioned onward. It is truly a journey through space and time that invariably leaves a ripple, no matter how faint. While some of those who journey with us may do so with great expectation, others do so with selfless love and giving.

Our journey may have many paths some long and some that conclude in just a single step.  However, it is inevitable that no matter how wonderful or sorrowful the journey through life may be, it will eventually come to an end and we too must transition onward.

 It is in times like these where someone’s journey has come to an end that we pause to reflect on the one who has gone before us and to remember that life is a gift. Be it a mother, father, child, sister, brother, grandparent, aunt, uncle, relative or friend, let us acknowledge the life and cherish the memory of this one light that has dimmed - gone too soon.
