We were so sorry to hear of Walter's passing. We met Walter at Mercy Healthcare last year. We recognized Walter as a fellow parishioner of St. George Church. My mother was a resident at Mercy for 1-1/2 years until moving back home in July; her room was two rooms away from Walter's. Walter was always cheerful and quick with a smile, and we enjoyed chatting with him. We will remember Walter in our prayers and know that you have our sincere sympathy in your time of sorrow.
