I am so sorry for your lose. Wally was a friend that I often teased with during his hours of volunteer service at St. James and his morning breakfasts with the "cardiac rehab" group. I certainly did not expect to hear of his death so soon. I have been transferred from St. James and will probably not be able to make the wake, but know he and all of you will be remembered in prayer.
