We took a weekend trip to CO.

"HE WILL BE MISSED. MAYBE HE WILL COME VISIT US SOMEDAY FROM 'HEAVEN.'"
SINCERELY, GENERAL BAIRD, COMMANDING

Gene West,Walter’s bird dog trainer in 70’s we shared love of bird hunting and especially bird dog’s we become dear friends, I will always remember my friend with much love.

Dear MaryAnn, Mary Catherine,& Adam
I knew Walter many years ago. I worked for him for over 12 years. He was an awesome business man, husband, father, and i'm sure grandfather. I know he will be truly missed by all as he was one of a kind.

Dear Mary Ann, Mary Cathrine, Cody & Hunter, My heart goes out to you all. It is wonderful to read about all the great things that Walter did and achieved in his life, but I'm sure the greatest of all was that he was Husband, Father and Grandpa!

I miss you all dearly,
Britton

To the Mize Family:
How grateful we are to have experienced
the love Walter had for the Lord, His Church, and the Kingdom of God.
It began for us in Mayfield Road Baptist Church in Arlington, and in
Johnson Baptist Association, as well
as in Field Street. The Lord's work
will be blessed for many generations
to come. In your sorrow, remember
the words of Paul - "...to be absent
from the body is to be present
with the Lord"

Mary Catherine, I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your father. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. All of you will be in my prayers.

To the Mize family, The world is a lesser place without Walter,but heaven just got a lot better.I enjoyed every moment I spent with him in the field hunting,at the racetrack,or just sitting around the Lazy M talking till the wee hours in the morning.I will miss him greatly,as will all of us.My deepest sympathy to all of you.You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Cousin Mary Catherine
I heard about Walter's passing from Renee. I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and have all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Mary Catherine, we just want to let you know we're thinking of you and the entire family.

A great man who I will miss dearly. I'll miss his wisdom, humour and kindness. My heartfelt sympathies to Mary Ann and Adam. I hope to see you again soon.

Red & I were friends in high school. I was not aware that he enjoyed such a successful business career & helped so many people. He seems to have had a very productive & fulfilling life.

Mary Ann, Mary Catherine, Cody & Hunter,
My condolences for the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. He touched many lives including my own and I know he will be missed by many. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Mary Catherine, Mary Ann, and Adam, I am so sorry for your loss of Walter. I received the news from Ted's mom on Sunday and called the house, but you were not available, so I left a message. Walter was always friendly and fun to be around. I have great memories of that trip we took to New Orleans so long ago. I know you miss him dearly, but what a great comfort to know he is with His Savior and King, face to face. Will see you soon. Love you!

I am sorry for you loss. My Grand father and I used to go dove hunting with Walter.

Mary C. - We are sending you are sympathy and condolenecs for this great loss in your family. We understand that this is a difficult and trying time for you and your family. We will continue to pray and say prayer for you through this time of need. We are here for your support.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

The short time I knew Walter he made a profound effect on me. He dearly loved his family and always spoke fondly of his grandson's, Cody and Hunter.

I will miss the conversations we had.

We send our condolences to the family. Walter was a thoughtful man whose influence covered all of Cleburne. We will miss him and know that he is in Heaven spreading good will to all and praising his Lord. His rewards are great.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Mary Ann, my deepest sympathy and my shock at the loss. I just saw Walter, Adam and Bill Wilkins at the Dallas Hunters Expo two weeks ago and we had a very good visit. We had not seen each other in over 20 years and we had several good laughs over the times we spent together. Will try and make the service. Again my condolences to the family.
