I will always know your here.

Words can't tell the Roots family the sorrow I feel for all of you in this time of your loss. Walter is at peace now,a peace he has needed for a long time. There are no struggles and no pain for him to endure any longer. Only peace. I have included a photo of one of his favorite fishing spots he loved. I will always be think of him in the Summer when I go there to lay on the beach and have peace in knowing that he will be there on the rocks watching over me and keeping me safe.
All my love...
