Dear Cousins,

I am sorry to hear of your brothers death so short a time after your Dad's. It is so unexpected for someone so young. May the God of all comfort, comfort you in all your sorrow. Ann, I share your sorrow as one who just buried her husband a year ago. Jesus will walk with you and carry you in this painful time.

God be with all of you!

Ann and Family;

I am sorry for your loss but Walt is at rest now. I can't beleive that 50 years have gone by since Ronnie and I took you on that blind date and you and
Walt sat in the back seat and did not say a word to each other. But the 4 of us were always together on dates and are Prom if we were talking to each other or not.I know the first time I met Walt he was under a car fixing or
adding something. They are days of our
relationship with the 4 of us I will never forget. You and your family are in my prayers. Love Always Margie Schools-Glenn

Rest in Peace Uncle Butch. I will always remember how you used to tease me and tell me you were going to "steal" me when I was younger. We will miss your jokes!
