As a now retired faculty member of Southeastern's School of Nursing, I well recall when Ellienne and Bill were expecting a baby, because I was a childbirth educator at that time and briefly spoke to Ellienne about classes. They were delighted with their new baby boy, Walton's arrival!. I recall seeing that little ginger-haired tyke many times as he grew into a fine lad and eventually a gentleman, husband, father & attorney.
My heart grieves for the entire family at this unexpexted and tragic time. Our Lord's promises are now fulfilled in Walton's life and I pray for comfort and peace to Ellienne, his wife, children and extended family now and during the days to come. With heartfelt sympathy, Cynthia Prestholdt

I am saddened to hear of Walt's death. He was such a nice guy. As a mortgage loan officer, he handled many closings for me. He was always so friendly inside and outside of the office. Prayers and thoughts for his wife, children, and his mother.
