I was so sorry to learn of Mr. Walton's death yesterday. I worked for him for many years in the Superintendent's office at the railroad. He was a great boss and a great person. Remembering you in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Patty:
I was so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Since we moved from Pine Bluff
almost six years ago, I had not seen him in all those years. You may not remember me, but I worked at the railroad with your dad for many years and he was always a nice man to work for. I have not seen you since high school or college and just knew you from the youth group at First Baptist, Pine Bluff. Our prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.
Love,
Kitten and Lyle Smith
