    Dear Jean and Family We are so very sorry to hear of your sudden loss. Uncle Walter is dearly loved by our family. Oh how we enjoyed the visit when you came to TN. to visit our dear Mother Betty and Father Maynard Wheeler. We enjoyed so much sitting around mom & dad's living room as well as kitchen table and talking about all kinds of things but especially family memories. Uncle Walter served our country so well, was a wonderful father, husband, brother, and uncle. He will be dearly dearly missed. We wish so very much that we could be with you all, the whole family at this special time of remembering. Remembering a wonderful human being that added so much to the world with his presence and steadfast spirit. We look forward to seeing Uncle Walter again very soon at that "Great getting up morning", as that great spiritual puts it. Soon very soon we will all see that wonderful face of Jesus, and death will be no more and we will all be with each other never more to part. Please come see us when you get a chance Mom & dad would enjoy seeing you so very much. We are presently caring for Betty (Mom) as she recently fell and broke her hip. Love and many hugs to you all. Robin
