Dear Rachelle and Walter,
Please forgive me as I cannot adequately express how deeply saddened I was to hear of the passing of your beautiful son, Walter. I know he has gone back home to be with our Father and left you with beautiful memories. May you find comfort in knowing him for the time he spent with you and may you find comfort in each other's arms.
Lovingly,

Dearest Rachelle and Walter:
Mere words cannot begin to express my thoughts for you both at this time. Although I did not have a chance to meet young Walter, I did have the opportunity to hear him "cooing and gooing" to Rachelle while she and I were on the phone together. I know that sweet little angel is at home now in the bosom of his heavenly father and I wish the Lord's peace, comfort, and understanding for you and your families, now and forever.
Sorrowfully and sisterly,
Jyl

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I wish I had the words to make you feel better, but I probably don't. Hopefully, your family, your faith, and your friends will help you through this. I wish you the best.
