Pat,
So sorry about Walton. Tommy and I thought a lot of him. I know you will miss him; but, according to the write-up he was ready to go. He has only changed his dwelling place from this earthly one to his heavenly one. Remember Psalms 116:15 "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death if his saints". Memories are precious and may your heart be filled with only sweet memories of him. I had hoped to see you today, but it didn't work out for me to go. I pray that God will give you the strength needed now and in the days and weeks ahead. Put your trust and faith in Him and He will lift you up. Keeping you in our prayers.

I love the obituary and his quote is one that I want to live out and up to...Walton stated, "I ain't afraid of dying. I only have one regret. That I didn't live my entire life for God. If I had to do it all again, I would have gotten saved earlier in my life".
