Elaine, Lee, Julie, Gene and families,
I am so sorry to hear of Walt's passing. Just wanted you all know that my Prayers and thoughts are with you all during this time. The memories of his wonderful life & Love will live on in all your hearts forever. I can only imagine the beautiful reunion with all of those saints who have passed on before him, his mom and dad, Mr. & Mrs. Carroll, David & Marion Stilson, Dick & Millie Bales, Audrey Bales, and all those other saints from Westcolesville Baptist Church. We had some good fellowship times at Westcolesville Baptist church dinners, Sunday school classes and programs with him and your whole family. He was a great witness and testimony for the Lord. May you feel the presence of our Lord's Peace & Love wrapping his arms around you to get you through.
