This free, outreach event was Dr. Walt’s passion, and he worked tirelessly to collaborate with many community organizations to ensure the success of this event.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we know that God makes no mistakes. 1st Thessalonians reads:
For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
We know Waltman will rise again and we will all be caught up in the clouds together one day. We love you be encouraged in the Lord and his words
Aunt Ann (Black) and family.
Speechless, I love you all
