To: The Walker Family.
I am sorry for your lost. May you find comfort in God’s Word the Bible. Jesus said: At John 6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who recognizes the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him on the last day.
May the hope and promise in this Scripture bring you comfort and strength to endure the difficult days ahead.

To my Aunt Clarice, Gale, Barbara, Randy and Andy, your significant others and all members of the Walker family I offer you my deepest condolences and pray that you all have strong faith in the resurrection hope that the Bible holds out for Uncle Walker. Jehovah God is a loving God and does not like to see people hurt. God created the earth to be inhabited and it will be. Once all of the wickedness has been destroyed God’s Kingdom will rule and just think of all the ones that we have lost in death we will see them again including my dear Uncle. Please know that I love you all so much and am thinking of you constantly. When I come to Columbus I want bear hugs from all of you. I love each and every one of you and I’m praying that you will be as strong as you can be and lean on each other. Special recognition to Gale Warren, she took on an incredible amount of responsibility getting her parents packed up and with the help of her brother Andy moved back to Columbus.
Hugs and love.
