To Mr. Wall's family I send my deepest sympathy. To the daughter who had her father their his last days at her house, hats off to you. It takes alot of courage to have close member at your home, knowing they will die soon. I am sure the whole family was there with him. I lived my dad dearly, but do not think I could have him at my home, knowing he was going to die. I do not think I could take it emotionally. I used to be a CNA and took care of patients and id private duty with those who had cancer. I hope he is at peace and not suffering anymore. sad may the memories you of of him stay in your heart. Cindy J.

I am so sorry to hear of Jackie's deth. When we were all kids growing up on Bellflower St in Dorchester we wre like an extended family. He had a great sense of humor, and when I saw him at Auntie Mae's funeral he looked great. he was talking about his house building obsession which I know he loved. I hope that he was peaceful in his last days and I am so soory that he has left us.
