Walter (White Dog) Cummings

I could not wait for death, so death kindly came for me. When the Angel of Death summoned me, I welcomed my departure from this land because life has been great to me. There’s peace and serenity on this journey called death. I took the road of death because I knew that my Master was waiting along the roadside to take me on to eternity.
