Aunt Emma and Family we were just informed of "Uncle's" homegoing. During our short time together, Uncle was such an inspiration to us. We wish we had more time together, however, we are thankful for the short time we were given. Uncle will be missed and our prayers are with you...
We Love You.

We were sorry to hear about the passing of such an exceptional man as Walter Lambert. Walter's sincere desire to help people, his strong Christian beliefs were obvious to anyone who had the good fortune of knowing him and sharing many convesations with him on his love of life and the many people he loved. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Lambert, Rhonda and her family.
With warm regards,
Sandra and Steven Ward

God saw Granddad was getting tired and cure was not to be. So, God put His arms around Granddad and whispered,"come with me." With tear-filled eyes we watched him suffer and fade away. Although we loved him deeply we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands put to rest. When God took my Granddad He took the best!
I will always love you, Granddad,

HIS JOURNEY'S JUST BEGUN
Dont' think of him as gone away
His journey just begun.
LIfe holds so many facets
This life is only one.
Just think of him as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years
Think how he must be whishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away
And think of him as living
In the hearts of those he touched
For nothing love is ever lost
And he was loved so much

I am sorry to hear of Walter's passing. He was a good friend and stalwart advocate and it was in the context of advocate and educator that I knew him well. Those of us left behind will remember the kindnesses, generosity of spirit and hope that he conveyed to others. Walter will always be with us because he touched our lives in important ways. God bless his family.

Emma & Rhonda; It was such a joy knowing Walter. He was always willing to go the extra mile for those he care about and that seemed to encompass everyone. I don't think that he ever met a stranger. He was also a very gracious man and I am pround that he called me his friend. I will miss Family to Family Classes with him for he was a compassionate and gifted teacher. Walter is watching over us all now as we sing, cry and laugh with all of our wonderful memories of him.

Walter,you said you'd try to send me a sign that you are up there with my deceased son and my deceased brother ,I'll be looking.There will forever be a void,you touched my life so much,There is a definite crack in my heart,I'm trying to be strong like you told me to be but it is hard.I have peace in knowing your with God doing work for him up there,so many people still needed you but maybe God needed you more and the fact that he took you on "All Saints Day",makes it a little easier,because to me,you were a Saint.

Mr. Lambert
Loved politics and always discussed the different races. He stayed abreast of all the races he was very active in the community spreading his knowledge to everyone. I will truly miss seeing him come to the Supervisor of Elections office.
