I know Lisa Walpole and her husband. My husband, Pat Welch, and I (now divorced) attended Saint Andrews Episcopal Church, located on Johns Island, for many years. Rick Belser was the pastor. I knew Rick and Mazie, his wife, very well. I knew a lot of you too. I did many Bible studies with the members and I loved that church with all my heart. BUT....then my divorce came, and I moved.....and lost touch with everyone.

I am now in North Carolina and I´m an happy and blessed acupuncturist!
I think of all of you often. I wish all the Walpoles and Teddy´s friends, my deepest sympathy during this time, and know that I am praying for everyone of you because I know that if it wasn´t for the Walpoles there would be no Johns OR Wadmalaw Island!

I´m sure that Teddy, being a Walpole was loved deeply, had a wonderful life!

I miss all of you, and I know you miss Teddy, and know that everyone is in my prayers! I love you all.
Your sister in Christ,

I am so sorry to hear about Teddy. I loved working with her at the farm. She had such a wonderful sense of humor. She loved her family. My sincere condolences to all of you feeling that sense of loss. I'm sure she is welcomed in Heaven with open arms.
Sincerely,
Kathryn (Tac) Battey
