Ethel and the Walker Family,
It is so painful to accept at this present time, but 2 Corinthians 5:8 gives us confidence that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We share in your grief of the unexpected loss of your dear “Alex”. Please find comfort in knowing that he is safely with the Lord, and free from all physical and earthly discomforts. Imagine the welcome he received from his parents, sister, grandparents and all other loved ones who preceded him. Even though we are so many physical miles apart, we are truly with you in love during this sad time.
May all the warm and special memories you all have shared with Alex sustain you now and through all the days ahead.
May God Bless and keep each of you. We Love you.
