Walter my nextdoor neighbor was my big brother growing up on K street N.E. I spent a lot of time at the Bloss home as I would go there for lunch time and also when Georgia would babysit me when my mom was working. I have very fond memories of the Bloss family especially Walter and Georgia.
God Bless and I know these folks are in heaven with God.

To Georgia,
As one who has lost their only sibling, I feel your heartache. We have not been in touch for years, especially since I moved to Florida. I have so many memories of our childhood growing up, you and Walter at 271 N St. and my brother Junior and I at 1307 Third St, with our backyards intersecting.

My deepest sympathy

Yvonne I will think of Walter and remember him just the way he was. His laugh, his smile and his demonstrative way of using his hands and everything else to get his point across. He was delightful and made many people laugh. I am sure that he has received a lot of prayers and smiles from those who are sad. All and all, IT IS well with his soul.

Hi Yvonne,

I called to thank you for the CWU dues and I got the message. I am so sorry to hear of your loss and that I missed the service at Stewart. I will keep you in my prayers and call you again.

Peace and Blessings,
Ernestine H. Brown

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. I am praying for your family's peace of heart.
