Uncle Walt,

The Lord knew you were hurting, so He took you home to be with Him. "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28) I will remember you always in my heart and look forward to our family reunion in eternity. Jesus said,"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though He may die, he shall live". (John 11:25) You will live on in the memories of all who knew and loved you.

Love Laura
