Please know that we are thinking of you and the family; our prayers are for your strength during this time. I have such fond memories of Uncle Walter (as one of the younger brothers of my mother - Vallie Claywell Appleby). As a kid he would joke with me and was someone I admired. As an adult I appreciated his sense of humor and his strength. He will be greatly missed. Love, Cliff & Lynne Appleby
