It was always a joy to talk with Mrs. Walker, because it was if though we had known one another for years. I can remember her going on a bus trip with our church to see a play at the Sight and Sound Theater. When Cynthia told me about the passing of her brother, Frederick "Freddie", I instantly wanted to do something for Mrs. Walker to brighten her day, so I sent flowers. Afterwards, she called me, and I could feel her smiling on the phone. Dearest Cynthia, Alonzo, and family, I pray the cherished memories of your friendly, sweet, and kind loved one will give you comfort, strength, and peace during your time of bereavement. My Heartfelt Sympathy, Prayers, and Love.
