Chlao – Sorry to read about Wally. Paul will feel really sad when I tell him (he is currently in MeadowWoods). They had a good time when they were together and laughed a lot. Paul called him “my friend, Wally”. xxoo

Chlao and family, so sorry to hear about Wally. He would often stop when I was out in the yard for a short visit.

Such a nice kind person, the world would be better with people like Wally.
