Offering sincere condolences to the family. I am so very sorry for your loss. Death was never part of our Heavenly Father’s original purpose for mankind. In fact, in His word the Bible He calls it an enemy (1Cor. 15:26) which He promises in the very near future to do away with (Rev. 21:4,5) At that time tragedies and accidents will be a thing of the past,  no one will ever get sick (Isaiah 33:24) and there will be a reuniting, a bringing back to life instead of losing (John 5:28,29) Please allow these words to be of comfort to you and give you hope. (2Cor. 1:3,4)

I just want to say I enjoyed the time me and Mr Walters had when he was at Green Acers in such a small amount of time me and him came really close friends more like brothers. I also enjoyed his talks about life and telling me things about life and the things he's been threw and me talking about the things I've been threw. But in all he's was a big brother figure to me and he will be truly missed.
