June you are in my thoughts and prayers... the picture of Wally is just as I remembered him:) This life is short but how amazing to have had 90 years on this earth! My Mother had this written in her diary after my Sister Diane passed away so I will share it with you. "Discover unto me O Lord The nothingness of this earth,The greatness of HeavenThe shortness of time andThe length of eternity!" May you find peace and comfort in the memories of your life together.Love, The Sadlon FamilyDale, Maryann, Tony, Kayle & Kariann

June & the Langer Family;Being Dean's friend for so long I remember Walter & you through him. How you supported and cared for Dean, loved him so clearly. I remember golfing with Dean and Walter and doing so again with my dad along and how much fun that was. We did it until Walter's hips wouldn't let him golf any more. That's how I know Walter the most and best and know he was a good solid man. May he rest in paece. We will pray for him.

Wally sure will be missed at Church. I always enjoyed holding the door on Sunday Mornings. I will alway remember his reply to How are you doing? Wally would say "Still Vertical" Now he is Vertical with our Lord Jesus Christ stand with him in heaven. I will miss you here, but will see you again when I get home.
