Fred and I were really sad to hear of Wally's passing. He was a wonderful man and the kind of go go guy that we loved having at Linden Ponds. And with all his medical problems,he was such an inspiration to so many of us. He was always up beat and planning for tomorrow with the latest technology at his fingertips.
Edna, you have been such a devoted, helpful, loving wife. Blessings and prayers for all of you as you go through this difficult time. Marilyn and Fred Pula

To the Antoine Family, My heart felt condolences go out to your family. Walter was a wonderful man and a great friend to my dad for as far back as I can remember. And when my dad had a stroke 40 years ago, Walter did so much for him and our family.GOD BLESS HIM.

I am so sorry to hear about Wally's passing. I was an employee of Wally's Hallmark and it was a lot of fun working for Wally and Edna. I met many family members as well and remember some fun times. MY deepest sympathy to all of you.
