My dearest friends Rachelle and Walter,
I am so sorry for your loss.
We may not understand why Little Walter left this earth so soon, but we will see him again someday. We will meet in a heavenly place where there is no parting. A place where there are no words that mean goodbye.

Rach and Walter, I know that words can't express how you two must feel right now. Yet, I hope that you may find some comfort in the support that I and your many other friends and family have shown you. But when all of the ceremonial things have passed away and the thoughts of how?, why?, and what if? set in, it is my prayer that the word of God will intercede and provide the all the comfort and answers you need. For God says in John 13:7 that you may not know or understand what he does now, but that you will know and understand later. Moreover, in John 14:26 he promises that our Father in heaven will send the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, in his name and that the Comforter will teach you all things. And know too that tribulations such as this come for everyone. For he says in his word (John 16:33) that in this world you will have tribulation, but to be of good cheer because he can overcome all that the world has in store for you. And he can overcome all things! Remember, weeping may endure for a night (or maybe even days, weeks, months or whatever the case) but JOY COMES IN THE MORNING!!!!
Love you both,
Monica
