Tributes
"Mark was a good friend and active Rotarian. He was President when I joined the Rotary Club of Ambler in April of 1988. He will be missed by all who knew him."
"To The Waltz Family, I would like to pass on my condolences and my deepest sympathies to the family on the passing of Mark Waltz. I have known Mark since him and his wife moved to Meadowood and as their mail carrier we had many enjoyable conversations and exchange pleasantries that have greatly had a impact on my life. Mark and I would talk about our faith in Jesus Christ and the effect that it had on our lives. I was deeply saddened when I saw the notice on the lobby table at Meadowood and since I have been the mail carrier at the retirement center for 22 years, I have met and developed many valuable relationships with many of the residents and the Waltz Family is one of those special relationships that I will cherish forever. ? Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal ? and prayerfully, I hope that the Waltz Family will continue to hold onto God?s unchanging hand and allow his grace and mercy to comfort and sustain always. God Bless The Waltz Family, Respectively Yours, Deacon George T. Oliver, The Mail Carrier at Meadowood. Peace and blessings always ??????"
