We pray that you and yours will know the sweet comfort of the Holy Spirit and the assurance that we are remembering you in our thoughts and prayers. Love, David and Gwen

Mrs. Allison, I am so sorry for your great loss. I am praying specifically for the Lord to bring you much comfort and peace during this time and many special memories. I know that words can not bring the comfort that is needed but, prayers can and I do promise to pray for you and your family. The Lord is our Mighty Rock and our Strong Tower may you feel the precious love of Jesus wrapped around you always. "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27 I will continue to pray for all of you and for the Lord to sustain you and give you new hope each day for His mercies are new every morning. In Christ, Jill Hall

Just a SUPER, SUPER nice guy from a SUPER, SUPER nice family! I remember when Walter Ed was about 10 years old or so, his Dad would bring all the boys out to "Frank Brannan and Sons Drive In" ,after their baseball games and the boys would be leaning out the windows to place their order over the speaker. They all just seemed to have a good time together. Walter Ed, you will be greatly missed. Frank Brannan, Jr.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Walters passing. Having been my Dentist for nearly 25 years, I recall how kind and supportive he was during my battles with melanoma. Just last month he told me of his diagnosis and typical for such a kind man, asked how I was doing rather than dwell on his! My sympathies to his family and staff.

Debbie and family, I am so sad. May the love and prayers from all those who cared about Walter and you, help sustain you. I pray that you endure these days of loss and arrive at a place of peace and understanding.
