Dear Bernice,
Janet and I wish you peace and comfort knowing how much you are loved. We feel so proud and special to have known Walt. He is, after all, part of the "Greatest Generation". I will treasure the memories and the many life stories he shared. What a humble, humorous, outstanding human being and American he was!
May the blessings of God be upon you. May His peace abide in you. May His presence illuminate your heart, now and forever more.
With Love,
Jake & Janet Mangas
