Walter Thomas Sullivan

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My deepest sympathies to all of you. What a shock! I was always so touched by how close you all were; the frequency of your contact, the candor of your conversations, and how much you really enjoyed each other! May the great memories help you through the difficult times. Love, Nicole Murphy

I only knew Walt for a short time, but from the first time I met him I was impressed with his great personality and sense of humor. This man had a lot of class. He will definitely be missed!

Our condolences to his family from all of us at ACECO.

My deepest sympathy & prayers to Walter's family. I am so saddened by his death. Walter was Irish through & through & he celebrated life. He deeply cherished his children and grandchildren. He lived life to the fullest & he did it his way.

My sympathy and prayers go out to Walter's children and grandchildren. He always spoke so highly of all of you, a very proud father and grandfather. I had the pleasure of working with Walter and learning a few things from him. He lived life to the fullest and know he would want the same for his family and friends. I think Walt, not Nike, coined the phrase...just do it. He will be missed and leaves us with only good thoughts.

I had the pleasure of working with Walt for about a year, and I always looked forward to his calls every week. Walt always made my day better with one of his stories. Walter was a good friend and will be missed greatly. He embodied the true Irish charm, that is what I will miss the most.

I only had the privledge to meet Walt one time, which I'm sure was my lose. Walt seemed to be a sincere and genuine person. May he rest in peace...

My deepest sympathy, prayers, and love to Walt's family. I was honored to work with him and know his spirit will live on in all the lives he touched.
