ear Uncle Walter I really miss you an awful lot. I know we didn't appear so close but I loved you a lot. When Cliff was alive he admired you also. I was so saddened with your passing. You are very sadly missed. I loved you. Virginia Anne.

Dear Uncle Walter you will be missed so very much. I will miss our long conversations, and the many cards we always exchanged. I thank you and Aunt Gen for being God parents to one of my daughters. Always loved you both so much. I also Loved the way that you always called me Virginia Anne.
