Walter was such a sweet man, father and husband. He was always there for his girls and loved them and Beverly so much. I pray for peace and strength to your family and love you all. Xoxo
Ms. Beverly so sorry to hear Walter’s passing just know in your heart you did all you could , Nobody understands better than I how degrading alziehmer’s is My wish for you and the girls is that you remember the goods times . and keep those memories in you heart forever .
May God give you peace and comfort during this most dificult time. God promises to remove the pain and heartaches of death (Rev 21:3,4). Thus Jesus said that we will see them again, he even showed us what he will do when he raised Lazarus and others. As you reflect on Mr. Blair reflect on God’s promises. What a precious hope we have.
