I am so sorry for the loss of Walt. I have many wonderful memories of him and Ann from our time in Madeira. My prayers go out to Jill and the family. I'm sure Ann and Walt are in Heaven together again.

Walt and I were childhood firends & neighbors in Mt. Washington back in the 50's. His Mom & Dad were our Cub Scout leaders and they had such a positive influence on our lives! But I find comfort in knowing that we will all be together again in God's Kingdom...sooner tha later! :)
