No one could make you laugh at just the right time as Wally!!! (Even when you didn't want to because of the bad joke). Wally's fun-loving spirit and support has made a huge difference in my life. Thank you Lord for that blessing. I pray for Maita to feel appreciated and loved all the days ahead. Linda (Cuplin) Westerholm, friend
