Walt and family,
I just saw the obit for your sweet mom. Can't tell you how often I have thought of her. I first met "Aunt I" thru your cousin Mary Jane during our high school years. Not long after, as most folks did, I fell in love with her and your dad! Family was her world! It's probably been 20 years since I last stopped to visit her during a trip back North. I've been in the South since '88. She'll always be remembered for her strength, faith and kindness. What a beautiful lady inside and out! I pray you continue the legacy with your family. God bless.
