Hey Big Brother, I can't believe that a year has passed since you left us. Sometimes it seems like yesterday you were here and other times it feels like a lifetime ago I saw you. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you. We missed you on the dance floor on Christina's wedding day & we missed Stefanie doing her Karoke. Our family will never be complete again. Love & miss you terribly. Forever your little sister Tammy

My dear little brother Wally I can't believe it has been 1 year already, how I miss you so much. I think of you all the time, wishing you were here to talk to. Christina and Joe finally got married on May 21 and she was sooo beautiful, and we missed you so much there. Your laughter and radiant smile was there in spirit with us. Cameron was very handsome and kept saying "Uncle Wally" is an angel looking down on us. We all miss you so very much and our hearts are broken forever. I love you very much and miss you deeply, your big sister Tonda

Hi Walt.... Thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence. I often speak your name. All i have is memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, in which I'll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart .

Hey little brother,
We sold your house and it hurt so bad to have to say goodbye. We've had so many good get togethers there, all the parties and holidays. Now someone new will be creating good memories in your castle. It will never be the same. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!! Happy V Day

To my big brother Wally, who I miss so dearly. Please watch over us and keep us safe. Your house was sold. It was very sad. I remember all the parties, family gatherings, we had at your house. Central point of meeting. I'll always remember Shirly, how she kept you company that New Years Eve 2000...LOL and How I woke up the next morning and Shirley was all over the side of my car. I will miss making more memories with you, but I will always cherish the ones I have. I love you, your little sister Tammy

Another day has gone by, I am missing you dearly. My tears still fall like the day you left. I realize that you are not in pain anymore, but that doesn't take away my sorrow. I think of all the good times we had as children & the better time we had as adults. My heart will always miss you my dear brother. Christmas Eve will not be the same without you. This will be the first time in years that we haven't been together to celebrate. Know that I always am thinking of you. Please Wally always stay with Stef. Merry Christmas. I love you. Your little sister Tammy.

As your 48th birthday approaches... Don't know what to do. You won't be here to wish a happy birthday too. I'll be down to see you at the cemetary on Sunday 10/04/09, but it will not be the same. I do not want to spend more birthdays & holidays without you & Stefanie. It gets so depressing. People say celebrate their life's with joy, but what joy is it when you are not here to celebrate with. Know I'll always miss you Wally with all my heart. As I write this, my tears are falling, because my heart is so sad. I love & miss you big brother. Love your little sister Tammy

Know that I think of you everyday big brother. My heart cries out in pain. Never did I think f a day that you would not be here. Until we meet again. I love you. Your little sister Tammy

Uncle Wally,
Cam and I were looking through pictures and found this......it is awesome!!! I just wish that I would have taken his picture with you each and every time we saw you. I took advantage of having you here with us, and I regret that terribly!!! Cameron is smart though, he remembers your face, and knows that it is your picture that we are looking at. He plays with his DHL truck all the time, and says that it is "Uncle Wally's truck". I promise to speak of you often when he grows up, I just wish that he could have a memory full of good times with you like I do. We miss you soooooo much!! It sucks without you, and we think of you daily wishing you were here with us!! We love you so much!

My birthday is tomorrow. My first one without you big brother. How can you not be there? I do not understand any of this. I miss you so much. You weren't supposed to leave. Either was Stefanie. My daughter, my brother gone from my life, but never from my heart or soul. Wishing you guys home everyday. My tears fall like the rain, my heart breaks into tiny pieces daily. I wish I could talk to you, like we used too. Miss and love you big brother. Your little sister Tammy

It is still so hard to believe that you are not coming home. I miss not seeing you or talking to you. I never thought of you being gone.

To my Brother,
As each passing day goes by I miss you more and more. I still try to make sense out of all of this. How our lifes passed so quickly from when we were little. All the memories are just that, memories. I wanted to make new memories unitl we were old a gray. I will always remember that day in mom's backyard. Never laughed so hard in my life, or when the time Rick made you close your eyes and hold your arms out dropped those pikes (fish) in your arms. The look of fear and disgust as you screamed and threw your arms up in the air, was priceless. As we clean out your house it saddens me to know that this is a reality, it is final. Never will I forget you my brother. Loving and missing you terribly. Your little sister Tammy.

Well Wally ~ you told me last 4th that you would be here for this years party. I know that you tried so hard to keep that promise but the cancer fought dirty. Even though you can't be here in body I know we will feel your presence in spirit. You are loved and missed dearly.

Where do I start, I think of all the times we played nintendo baseball together with Timmy. The times we would spend in the pool playing baseball and basketball. I will never forget the the sleepovers at your house watching "Night of the Roxbury" and doing all of the funny faces. Most of all, I will never forget how you were my closet uncle and would always be there for us. I could only hope I could be as good as an uncle as you were. You live in my heart and I pray you watch over me. I love you and miss you.
Your nephew, Doug

Words cannot express how much I will miss you. I will forever keep with me the happy memories I have of you, my most favorite uncle. You always made everyone around you smile, I can't imagine another family get together without you. Cameron says your name, and it hurts me to know that he will never fully know the best uncle in the world. But I promise to always remind him how awesome you were, and tell him about the great times. I will always love you WWW!!!!
