I can barely see right now through my tears. This is beautiful and a very lovely recollection of my brother. Thank you so very much. We have all lost much.

All our love, Walter. It’s very hard to find words just now, but that much we can say with perfect sincerity.

May he rest in peace

And rise in glory

And may the tender compassion of our God break upon you in your grief, my friend

And in that space, all that is good in this world will be present (so, hello Patryk).

And since all that God loves is good, we shall all be there. Including Genghis Khan and Rod Dreher.

Memory eternal! Condolences to all Patryk’s family and friends. And, Dr. Hart, may you, Patryk, Walter, and all the good friends of your youth play baseball again and forever on the school field behind the Cholewczynski home.

Friends from our youth are "real people."

I will pray for you all.

What love gives is not undone. Reunion belongs to what endures beyond this life. You bring this home. Thank you for sharing this.
