To all the Walshes (and extended family),
My condolences to all of you at this difficult time. I am sorry I could not join you at the service, but I am thinking of all of you and wishing your mom (and dad) peace in the next life. With sympathy,

To the Walsh Family,
They always say when a wife or husband loose a spouse they send for their partner not too long after, because they were meant to be together thru eternity, I believe Dennis was calling for Ann and she was ready to go. There wasn't a nicer woman or neighbor with a heart of gold I will always see her carrying her bundles up the street, even when you offered her a ride she would never want to trouble you, and always a kind word. She will be terribly missed but very fondly remembered.
