I was so sorry to hear of your loss, Clary. I know that Walter was your best friend, as well as your brother. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May you find comfort in the wonderful memories that you made together.
Mary and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of deepest sorrow. We grieve for your loss and will pray for you all to find comfort and solace. We will never forget how you and Walter came to be with us in our time of sorrow. We wish we were able to be there for you now in person, not just in spirit. However we are unable to make it and it breaks our heart to be unable to give you words of comfort and a loving hug.
Love,
Betty Kate Norman
