To Walter, Ray and Momma Ruth..."God saw the road getting rough and the hills getting hard to climb. He gently closed your dad's eyes and said peace be thine". Walter...when we last spoke at Michael's wake, I asked you how your mom and dad were doing; I never guessed that in such a short period of time, I would be sending you this message of condolence. Allow your memories to bring you comfort.
