Dear Walker Family,
How saddened I was to learn of Jeff's passing. I knew Jeff years ago when we were in the same ward in San Bernardino. I was touched while reading the entries and learning the Jeff had grown into such a wonderful man. I know he will be missed, but know through the faith we share, that you will all be together again.
Please pass my condolances on to Jeff's parents as well.

Vicki and family,
I have been thinking about you all this past week. My prayers are with you all and hope that AJ is recovering well. I have such great memories of Jeff and so grateful for the short time he was part of our family. I am sure my mom has been reunited with him and I can just imagine him giving her a big hug and licking her cheek, like he always did, and then she would laugh and say "oh Jeff, stop that!" She adored him. He was a great man. I love you all so very much.

Diane Jorgenson

February 23, 2007

DearWalker Family,
My heart is heavy as I learned of a very old friend's tragic passing. Jeff and I knew each other in San Bernardino CA. I have been touched by all the kind words written of a man I never knew, but which reminded me of a young boy I knew and loved. I especially enjoyed the mentions of his smile and sense of humor. I haven't seen Jeff for more than 30 years, but feel a sense of loss at his passing. May the Lord continue to bless each of you, his celestial family, at this time.

Diane (Boylin) Jorgnson

Please pass my condolances on to his parents as well

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there,
I did not die.

I do not know who wrote this poem but I carry it with me always because it helps me get through things like this, I hope it will do the same for your family.
My heart to yours....

February 16, 2007

Dear Walker Family,

As the parent of a friend of A.J. I want you to know of the many, many prayers and well wishes that are going out to him and your family.

Dear Vicky, Jeremy, and family:

At first, I wasn't sure if Jeff Walker was your family, because of the age given. Then, when it was corrected, I realized that you are our "old" kind neighbors, just north of us in West Jordan. We were there when Jeremy had that serious fall.

I am truly sorry for you both and your family. I know that you're feeling a lot of pain and anguish; and I cry with you.

Rosalie and I were divorced 10 years ago, unfortunately.

May you all be blessed and conforted with some peace, at this time.

Love, Barry Kirk and family

We were his last ones for the day, but he was still driving another 80 miles to the hotel for the next days business.

He loved talking about all of you and how excited he was to go to Italy for a romantic get away with Vickie. Our hearts go out to all of you.

You are such a wonderful family and mean so much to us. Thank you for your love, and may God strengthen you as you walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

You do not know me... but as a daughter, sister, and wife, my heart aches for your loss. I am so sorry. I cannot possibly know how hard this must be, but I am praying for your family, and for the quick recovery of AJ.

Jason Seymour

February 15, 2007

Vickie and family:

I just want to know that my prayers are for you and your family. I pray that AJ will make a full, speedy and healthy recovery. When Jeff was my manager, one thing was certain: we were going to have fun. We worked together for many years, I always enjoyed his conversations, his humerous way of life and the contagious smile. I told someone the other day, 3/4 of the time with Jeff was about having fun and laughing and the other 1/4 was figuring out a way to have more fun. His spirit, and the way he carried himself was an example to all. The last time I saw Jeff was at the Eric Millburn's farewell...he walked in that beautiful blue suit, looking like a million dollars. He had that big ole smile; it would light up a room. And then we talked, just like old times and we didn't miss a beat. When we see him again, it will be the same. He will look like a million dollars, a huge smile, and great conversation. I am so saddened by your loss, but I pray for you and your family always. May God grant you peace, peace in your heart so that you can deal with this tragedy. I know you will see Jeff again--for this life is but a short time. I know you will be reunited as a family. May the Lord bless you always.

Marie Lundeen

February 15, 2007

I, like so many others, don't know your husband or your family, but want to send my deepest sympathy to you. It's such a sad and tragic thing that happened, however he is in a good place with many who have been waiting for him. His time on earth was up, and it is time for him to fulfill his mission in Heaven. Again, I am very sorry for the way his life was taken from you. My prayers are with you and with AJ for a speedy recovery.

I know that I cannot comprehend the sorrow that you are experiencing, but I pray that our Father in Heaven will bless you and your family with the comfort and healing powers that you need at this time and in the days to come.

Dear Vickie:

I have been saddened by this whole Trolley Square tragedy. I only recently made the connection that this impacted you and your family.
I know your family has had more than its share of adversity over the years. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

Vickie & family:
When I first met my husband (Jeremy) he always included the Walkers in all his good stories/memories and before I had even met Jeff & Vickie I knew what a wonderful love those two shared and also what a great man Jeff was and that he impacted my husband's life in so many ways, he would not have been the same man without Jeff in his life. I know that everyone who has had the pleasure of meeting Jeff feels the same, he leaves such a great example to all of us. Vickie the first time I met you two I could just tell how much he loved and adored you, it was an inspirational love that you two shared.
I also really enjoyed seeing AJ in Jeremy's sunday school class, he has such a cute, funny personality...I pray for your family constantly and am aching for your pain and losses, be strong the Lord only gives us trials that we can handle, and he knows how strong you are Vickie...we love you and your family so much and will be here for you always...

Dear Vicki & Family, Since we got together at Carver's Rest. several years ago, Ruthy and I have had the highest regard for you and Jeff. Personally, I was devasted by the news and cannot even begin to now what you and your family are going through. Our prayers are with you, your son and the rest of your loved ones. I will truly miss the visits that Jeff and I had. They were more to talk about family and fun things than about work. If there is anything that you need please, please call us.

Dear Walker Family, you do not know me but I thought it important that you know that we are all praying for A.J.'s recovery. His only concern that unfortunate night was that of his father, he is a hero.

I also new Jeff through his profession as a wholesaler. He was such an example with his positive attitude. I'll never forget his infectious smile. He will be sorely missed.
My prayers are with your family and A.J. Even though Jeff is no longer here he will be close by.

Dear Vicki:
I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful Jeff and hopeful for the recovery of your precious AJ. Friday morning, when I received a call from my sister telling me the news, I was deeply upset and saddened (as was all my family). It's hard to find words to express my sympathies at this time, but we love you and your family. Knowing you will all be together again is some comfort in this time of pain and grief. My prayers are with your family.

Aunt Vickie and the family,
I love you guys so much. I have countless memories of Uncle Jeff over the years. He was always, like the rest of the family, so sweet to me. I will always remember every time I saw him he said, "Hi Cutie!" Even though I'm not the only one he said that to he always made me feel like I was a little more special. I hope AJ will continue to progress as well. I really love your family and I am so sick that this has happened. You are all in my thoughts, I am so grateful to be blessed by your loving family. I am here if you need anything.

Dear Vickie and family, My thoughts and prayers are with you. I feel blessed to have met Jeff and have had the opportunity to work with him. I can not even begin to tell you how many people from his territory have called to express their fond memories of Jeff. He was such a great man and touched so many people....he will truly be missed. Thinking of you during these difficult times.

I got to know Jeff from where I use to work in Boise for 5 years. When Jeff came to the office and took all the Reps to lunch he always made a point of bringing back food for me because I was always left there alone. I will never forget the wonderful pictures and stories of his fishing trips that he would get so excited about telling. You have been so blessed to have such a special and wonderful man share your life with all his love. The memory of him will live forever through you and everyone he touched in his lifetime.

Vickie,

All our love and sympathy to you and your family at this truly incomprehensible time. I enjoyed the many good laughs Jeff and I had while working at the New England. He was a breath of fresh air and someone you could really count on. Even though we did not see each other much these last several years, whenever we bumped into one another we would immediate catch right up. It was as though we were still working together.

Best wishes for A.J. and we hope and pray that all will be well with him during his recovery.

I won't try to offer any words of meaning to this event because I can think of none. All we can do is live each day to the fullest and love one another completely. I believe that is how you and Jeff lived for which you can be eternally grateful.

Love....Rick and Lois Waltman Family
