Karen, I was so sad to hear about Wally. I just read about it in the Chicago Tribune online. It seems like just yesterday that I was in your wedding. So sorry and I will keep you in my prayers

You are in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. I remember always laughing the entire time when we got together. Wally was such a fun person to be around.
