Tami,
I am so sorry for your loss. May you be comforted throughout the days ahead by your faith and by those who genuinely care for you.

My heart is heavy to just hear about the passing of Walter. I enjoyed working with Walter in ETV's School Services Department. Walter was one of ETV's smartest technicians who could repair just about anything in our Distance Educational Learning Centers and schools. He was so good that other technicians would call Walter asking for help. He was always willing to help.
Elizabeth, my thougths and prayers are with you and your family. May your heart and soul find peace and comfort.
With deepest sympathy,
Erical Y. Jones

Words cannot express the lost that you feel. Walt was more than a friend,he was the brother that I never had. I feel that God put us together for a reason, unfortinately life is only for a season. I will miss my brother but I know that he will still be watching over me. Goodbye for now but one day he will say to me hello Puddin. Your co-worker, friend and play sister will always reminder the good times that we had and cherish our friendship forever.
