Not sure what to say?

I deliver mobile meals and saw this month that Mr Turner was no longer on my list. My heart was heavy as I knew last month, he wasn't feeling well. I only talked to him a few times but his sweet spirit witnessed to me right away! Praise the Lord his suffering is now over. Love,

Ruby and Family, I have memories of some of the stories Walter told about the monkey & truck driving. Mark and I were so honored to have him marry us. I know he is rejoicing with Aunt Lillian. You are in our thought and prayers.

Ruby and Family, When I think of Walter I remember the church that he built and we came to hear him preach his first sermon. The sermon was "Going back to the Potters House", I will never forget it. I think of you Ruby every Sunday Morning when I hear the song "What a lovely Name"! May God bless you!

WALTER, WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THE MAN. I REMEMBER RIDING ON THE HANDLEBARS OF HIS BIKE FROM DOCENA TO MINOR IN THE LATE 1940'S AND HIM BUYING ME MY FIRST MILK SHAKE AT THE MINOR ICE CREAM BAR. I REMEMBER HOW MUCH MAMA AND PAPA LOOKED FORWARD TO THEIR COMING OVER FOR LUNCH ON SUNDAY. I REMEMBER HAVING TO KEEP LARRY (CURLY) AND NANCY BUSY. NO ONE LOVED WALTER MORE THAN MAMA. I AM SURE HIM WANTING TO PREACH HAD A LOT TO DO WITH IT. THE LEGEND OF WALTER EVEN EXTENDS TO SUCH A GREAT PERSON AS...
