Our Lose - Heavens Gain Miss you Wally - say hello to everyone
An unsung hero who will be greatly missed. May the Lord bless and comfort you, Bev, and your family.
We are both very saddened by the sudden passing of Wally. We're praying, Bev, that you, your children, and Carole and Sandy find comfort and peace knowing he is in a better place. God's blessings...Harold & Barbara Weidner
So sorry for your loss Bev. God and Wally are watching over you now. God bless you and your family.
We feel so fortunate to have been able to have spent so many good years with Wally. His caring and concern for our well-being was so much appreciated and we so enjoyed him driving over in his golf cart to "shoot the breeze" and "share the news". We want you all to know we are thinking about you as well, as we recall those special times with Wally.
It was a pleasure working with Wally at Centro de Informacion; he was a good man.
