Sending my deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the Athe Walters family during this very sad time.
There are never enough words when we lose someone so deeply loved. May you find strength in each other, comfort in the memories you shared and peace knowing that Athe’s love, teachings and presence will forever live on through family and the generations to come.
Thinking of you all and keeping the entire family close in my prayers.
Rest peacefully, Athe. May you rest in eternal love. 🕊️🤍Narelle Aniba and Family

To the family of bala wally. Our prayers are with you all today for the loss of a great son of the Torres Straits. A long time brother, a friend, a colleague, a historian, a man of culture and an asset and one of the product of the Bamaga State High School and Bamaga Residential College. Bala would be sadly missed by all of us. May his soul and the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace and rise in glory.
