It's hard to imagine Walt without Mary or Mary without Walt. I just thought in my heart of hearts that there would always be Walt and Mary. But the Lord has called Mary home to the room He prepared for her. To Cindy, my special friend of 35 years, I love you and grieve with you. Walt, Chris and your families, I'm so sorry and my heart hurts for all of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My favorite memory was when Mary, Chris and I went to a Christmas concert that Reba was in. I was sitting beside Mary and the two of us kept singing along with the choir. I am sure some people were annoyed that we were having so much fun!

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Mayor Christie Rainwater and Hanahan City Council
