We just found out about Fr. Wlater. Cynthia and I truly learned more about God's love, redemption, and acceptance from him, than anyone else. He personified God's Grace where ever he went. May God continue to bless and keep him; and Martha please know our prayers continue to be with you and Walter.

I met Fr Walter at Camp Weed so many years ago. I admired him so much. Once he visited St Johns in Tallahassee and I was so happy to see him as an adult. Fr. Walter told me once, while we were sailing at St Theresa Beach, 'always keep a little mystery about yourself'. I have held that in my heart and will continue to do so. I want to extend my heartfelt sympathies to Mrs. Saffron and the family.

Fr. Saffran always let you know how much God loved you. You never left church with out the reassurance of God's love. Martha, you and Walter were a great team. Hang onto those wonderful memories and know that others are praying for you. Peace and love, Kathy Ames, Alachua, Fl
