I give my condolences to the Shelton's family and friends. May the love, kind acts, and wisdom Mr. Walt shared throughout years forever reign in your heart, mind, and spirit. I met Mr and Mrs Shelton a few years ago at the dentist office who embraced me with the most unforgettable smiles and gentle spirits.

To Willie and the rest of the family of Walter, please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. One of the saddest things someone can experience is the death of a loved one. There is a promise of hope in the Bible at Acts 24:15 where it says "There is going to be a resurrection." May you find comfort in loving memories of Walter.
