We are reaching out to ask for support for Carlota as she prepares Walt’s celebration of life. Walt Houston was not only a great co‑worker, but a true friend to so many of us. He faced many health challenges over the years, and although it’s heartbreaking to lose him, we can take comfort in knowing he is finally at peace and no longer in pain.

Right now, Carlota is carrying the weight of the final expenses, and we want to come together the way Walt would have wanted—supporting one another like family. If you’re able to contribute anything, big or small, it would make a meaningful difference during a very stressful and emotional time.

Walt was like a grandpa to some of us, always kind, always there, and always ready with a story or a laugh. Honoring him by helping Carlota is one way we can show how much he meant to our work family.

If you need more information, please reach out. I will share updates as soon as I have them, including the date for his celebration of life.

Thank you all for your love, support, and generosity. Walt would be grateful, and so are we.
