My heart goes out to you at this time of grief. I know what you are going through being that I lost my wife Janice on the same day you lost Walter. If you remember, Jenniffer and John Vito stood up together to Tina and Robs wedding. How ironic that each lost a parent at the same time. Also we each had two sons and one daughter. Sometimes Joy, other times sadness. May God be with each of you at this time.

It is with such great love and fondness that I remember you, Wally. You made my growing up years full of laughter and fun. I ALWAYS smile when I think of you. You were such a joy! May God's presence fill Ruth and your children with His peace.
