Not sure what to say?

Mr Shank landed on our runway in Powhatan late 60 or early 70. He over ran the runway and ended up on a road. There were no injuries. If you would like to hear the rest of this story let me know. He was a fine man

To "Uncle Walters" Family,

I write this with deepest sympathy, knowing His strength and encouragement will be missed. "Uncle Walter" meant alot to me and my family. My thoughts and prayers will be with you during this time.

Prayerfully, Linda

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear Alice, Mary Beth, and Grace:

I was sorry to hear of your father's passing, and yet, I rejoice with him, and you, that he is now in his Heavenly home, free from pain and suffering. My thoughts are with you today as you are celebrating his life with family and friends. I'm sorry we could not be there with you in person but Ernie had another engaagement and I didn't want to make the trip alone. I am so happy we could see you and your father at the Mt Airy reunion several years...

I have many fond memories of the times I spent at the Shank household growing up. It always felt like a home away from home to me. I've known Walter all my life, as both my pastor and a close family friend. I will always remember his generosity and his (and Ann's) hospitality.

My sincere condolences and love to Glennys, and to Alice, Mary, Grace, and Allen. You are very much in my thoughts and prayers.
