My heart is completely shattered. We all looked forward to Walker being a part of the family and helping us all heal from our previous losses. I love him so very much and know he is surrounded by loving family doting on him and showering him with affection. Daniel, Amanda, Hunter and Cooper, please know that I pray for you every day and love you all so much. All of the family on both sides will gather and unite to get through this huge loss.
All my love, Aunt Chris
