Dear Mrs. Pangbon, My deepest condolances to you and your family.
Walter was a wonderful, kind, and deeply spiritual gentleman. I shall always remember your and Walter's kindnesses to me many years ago when I was a Deacon at St. Paul's Parish.
Walter is now held tightly in the Palm of God's Hand for all eternity.
God Bless You, Father Jim Cunningham

Dear Frances,
I´m sorry that I am unable to be present with you at this time. You and your whole family are very much in my prayers. I will also ask the sisters to pray. He has held a special place in their hearts as well. There are no words.
I treasure my memories of Walter, you and your family while I was at St. Paul´s so many years ago, but also when there was a "chance meeting," a happy surprise. His wonderful smile and desire to help others will never be forgotten.
You are all such fine, caring and giving people. He reached out to everyone.
Bless you all,
Sister Corinne Yarborough, SSMN
