I am so sorry for your loss. Walter was a great man. I'll always remember the stories he told and, the wonderful pictures he shared. I have the one of the old man and his cat. Arkansas was his second home. I pray this is a day of celebration, that Walter is in a much better place (probably aggravating his neighbor). Kendra I love you and may God wrap his arms around you & the family, and console your hearts at this time and always.

We wanted to offer our condolences to your family for the loss of your loved one. At times like these, we all need comfort from family and friends and God's Word.(Matthew 5:4) We wanted to share some encouragement from the Bible that has helped us deal with the sting of death. First, we are happy to know that our family members are in God's memory, while they await the resurrection from Jesus.(John 5:28-29) We know that Jesus is eager to bring back all of our family members as he demonstrated in the past. And it is comforting to know that our family members are only asleep and not in any pain. (John 11:11-14) But we most eagerly look forward to God's Kingdom and all the wonderful promises that it will bring to mankind, as we are reunited with our family members. Please read these beautiful promises for yourself in the Bible and pray for God's Kingdom. (Matthew 6:9-10; Daniel 2:44; Psalm 37:11,29; Isaiah 33:24, 65:17-25; Revelation 21:3-4)

Kendra and family,
I am sorry to hear of Walt's passing. I remember talking with him on many occasions at the soda fountain at the pharmacy so many years ago. He was a Main Street fixture in Hillsboro and recognized by everyone in the community. You are all in my prayers.

So sorry to hear of Walt's passing. Great photographer and artist. I knew him as a customer at a local photo lab. He was a wonderful man and I admired him very much.

Kendra:
I'm so sad to hear of Walt's passing, he was a great man, a fine business man, a good artist and wonderful member of the community. I was proud to be associated with the two of you for many more years than I like to remember. I know that I had the pleasure of babysitting for your kids when they were young and they were wonderful children and easy to care for. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Love,
Mike White
