Hello, Jane! Catching up on my Sunday papers, I noticed Walter's obituary. His smiling photo brought a smile to my own face, he had a life so well lived! Blessings and comfort to you...and thanks both to you and Walter for being such good friends to Gwen and Arden Farey. This is from Deborah, Kevin Farey's ex-wife (Emily's mother).

Walter was our brother-in-law and one of the greatest southern gentlemen you would ever know. The Maxwell and McGraw families have been blessed in so many ways by knowing him and having him in the family.

Walter's kindness and sense of humor always shone in his eyes. I remember how he would regale me with stories about how he and Jane would travel on vacations to places of historical interest. His...
