Hi Family, know that each of you are in my mind and my heart, I will miss Uncle Walter as I know he lived a wonderful life. Each of you our in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember being over at the house when in town and having conversations with Uncle as he might have just got back from fishing or just working on something around the house. He is the last of Auntie and my Mama generation that I know of and am so thankful for him being a part of my life. Missy and family
