Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hey Billy;

Just dropping by to say hello. Kelly is doing great her first year in college, she is keeping a 4.0. We are so proud of her, she's turning into a great young lady. She doesn't come home to often, we sure do miss her around here.

Lauren is doing pretty good also. She's staying busy with school and softball and riding right now, and basketball starts on the 2nd of next month. She was in lexington last weekend. She spent some time with Doug and Sheri and Grandad. She went to look at Midway college, and is really intrested in going there. I can't believe she will be in college in less than 2 years. She is such a great kid Billy. Next week she is going to go read to the kids at the Childrens Hospital, and take them some goodie bags for Halloween. Kelly and Lauren, well they are amazing to say the least.

Lauren and I went to lucnh a few days ago. We talked about you, and about how I let you drive my car when you first got your permit, and how we bought you and Chris a huge fish tank one Christmas, and Grandad gave y'all money to buy fish, and how that was probably the only Christmas present Bill ever got for y'all. The look in her eyes when I told her that was one of heartache. She looked at me and asked, How could he do that to Billy and Chris, and now us? I didn't know how to answer her. And then she said, Billy and Chris got through it, I know I can. She's kind of special that way.

We love you Billy.

Chris and Kristin were down last weekend for the baby shower. They requested videos of you because Kristin wanted to hear the way you talked and because everyone says how much you and Chris were alike in so many things. Looking back at the Holiday's, Birthday's and vacations with the family. So much fun and so many memories...I know you are proud of what Kaley has become, Prissy had a tough road, it's never easy, but Billy she's done well, with a little help from her friends..and family. We love you, and miss you. I miss those rules you and Jeff always MADE up, no matter what game it was.

Kaley and Prissy,
I know Kaley can read now and I am sure she is as smart as her mom and dad. Kaley your dad loved you so much. You and your mom ment the world to your dad. I remember the first time you were out of the house your dad had you around all us cops. You could see the pride in his eyes as he carried you and talked about the sleep he was not getting. What a wounderful women your family will make you. Always remember there are several people watching from a distance to help and love your mom and you.

Hi Billy Walls! I haven't left a message for you for a year and a half, but I just
saw a message from the Praters on a website for a WA deputy and it reminded me of you. I always enjoy reading the reflections left by your friends and family here. Everyone always speaks so fondly of you and I look forward to meeting you in Heaven one day. I'm sure you'll brighten up Heaven the way you let your light shine brightly here on Earth. You did good in the short time you were here and even though your leaving left many broken hearts, we keep alive the hope that you are supremely happy in the Lord's presence and are looking forward to the day when you can be with your friends and family once again. Until then, we are blessed by your memory.

Billy, I got in the car today. It was so hot! I was like, DANG THIS HEAT!!! The car would not cool down fast enough!! Than I looked up at your picture. It made everything in me calm again. Not a day goes by that you do not cross my mind,and after reading some of the past reflections others have those same type of encounters thoughout their day's. Just thinking of you.

Hey Billy;
I am pretty much giving up. Honestely, why should I try and make an effort if no one else is going to? Maybe doing what I did was a mistake. Don't get my wrong, I love him, but it is as if I don't matter. I just don't care anymore, about anything. I must not matter enough to them, so it's whatever. I guess I am not really giving up, I am just at that point where I don't care. I have been trying for SO long, and it's honestly not worth it. I have more important people in my life. I love you Billy, and we miss you. Watch over us, things are not good, not good at all. But obvisully that doesn't matter either so it's whatever.

Help us in any way you can.

I got to visit with Kaley on Sunday, she actually came up and sat on my lap. Billy, she is an awesome little girl. With such manners. When I look into her eyes, I see only those blue eyes looking back, yet another reminder of her father, right there. Beautiful little girl. Then I remember that last visit you had with us, how proud you were of her and you wanted to show me all the new things she was doing. However an infant normally never performs when you want them too. And I kept telling you, that it would be okay we would seen that soon. Such a proud pappa you were that day, well you should be now as well. Prissy has done a great job with her.

With Memorial Day arriving, and the family reunion, my thoughts revert back to the memories of the past family reunions, the croquet games, fishing, paddle boating, eating, whiffle ball, kick ball, softball and the like..all that competing to earn the title for another year, another story, another talking smack of how you beat your Uncle or he beat you. Today you have been on my mind quite a bit. Thoughts of another birthday passing, Kaley getting older and the newest addition to the clan, your sisters baby, Baby Jackson. You are so very proud of the new Mom, no doubt about that.

We love and miss you Billy terribly.

Hey Billy, you've been on my mind this week....Every time I come barreling up the road toward the South Junction I wonder if you're on duty and then it hits me again that you're patrolling the South Junction in Heaven now. It's an old but true cliche - you're gone but never forgotten.

Happy Birthday my love

I often come to Officer Walls site and have enjoyed reading all the reflections, I was wondering Prissy were you ever able to move on with your life? Did you find someone to love? Are you still alone? Is your daughter still doing good? I am praying for happiness for you because you deserve it.

Hey Billy,
Things are not so great right now. I keep telling myself that they will eventually get better, but maybe I'm wrong, maybe they wont ever get better. I don't know, I am just so confused about everything. I don't know what to do. Please help us some how. We could really use it right now.
Love you

Hey, Billy, just a short note as you have been on my mind today....sometimes I think you prompt me so that a prayer for Kaley and Prissy is sent up! I know you are enjoying Heaven and are keeping up on everybody's lives, it is great to have a LE angel to look after us....thanks

Hey Billy!! Sorry it has taken over a year to last leave a reflection. I couldn't help but think about you and all the events of that day after we had another officer killed here in KY. I went to the funeral for him and his K-9. As I was driving in the procession, it brought back memories of yours and I kept looking up at my sunvisor where I have your photo badge. In ways it feels like forever ago that you were taken from us and it other ways if feels like yesterday. We miss you buddy! I read Wilcher and Wilson's reflection and it just doesn't seem right that you aren't here for us to talk to instead of posting on here. But we shouldn't question GOD......he has a plan for all of us.
Keep looking over us down here....We Miss You!

It was a sad day I found out it was Billy that was killed. I still remember when. Was attending inservice at Richmond I stopped early one morning to look at the police officers memorial. On the list of names was Billy's. I did not even know.

Billy and I were pledge brothers. He was the even keel. Always the voice of reason. Whenever we had a stupid idea Billy would talk us out of it. He was a great friend.

Billy was a dispatcher at UK PD while he was in college. He would work all night then go to class all day. He had a great work ethic.

I got married and moved, Billy had already started working in law enforcement. Our paths just never crossed again before he was killed.

I'm still sad that he is gone. Billy was a wonderful person and I am sure he was a great deputy. Just as much as he was a great friend.

Rest well Billy!

2008, another year on the street. I often talk about you to the new guys and speak of you, you know during war story time at dinner with the brothers. It's crazy you will be gone for 7 years this November. I miss you and the world needs more like you. Your girls are great and growing. I will keep my promise to you and your family as long as I live. The calls keep coming and the bad guys get younger and we get older. I won't forget nor will I let the world forget.

Happy New Years Billy! I love you a lot.

Billy
I'm so sorry it's taking me this long to write a reflection. Billy, I want to say sorry for everything. I'm so sorry I didn't find a way for you and the girls to stay in touch. They wanted to know you and Prissy and everyone else, I hope you know that, and they remember spending that one Christmas with you. They love you and Chris, Billy. They are such strong girls, well I guess I should say young ladies now.

Kelly's leaving for college in just a few short weeks, can you belive it? She's growing up SO fast. Seems like just yesterday she was turning 8, and now she's 18. She's SO strong Billy, just like you and Chris had to of been. She can easiley stand her own ground, doesn't let anyone mess with her.

Lauren had the courage to find Chris Billy, it took her a while, but she did it, and even had the courage to call him. She loves her family. She's growing up SO fast too. A sophmore. Can you belive it? And almost driving, seems impossibile. She always has her brothers on her mind.

You must know how strong these girls have to be. Everything they have been threw, and they can still put big smiles on their faces and say everything is or will be "ok". They make the best of every situation and have learned not to take anything in life for granted, and I mean ANYTHING. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. 18 and 15, seems like yesterday I was holding both of them in my arms.

We are thinking of you always. Rest in peace Billy.

Hi, Billy ~

Haven't written for a long time, but we think of you every day and speak of you so often. That six years have passed since you left us is mind-boggling. Seems completely impossible. We know you just celebrated another magnificent Heavenly Christmas! Can't even imagine the beauty and the glory of it all but look forward to the day we can all be there and experience it together. We spent several hours with Marcy on Christmas Eve; it's always both a jolt and a comfort to see your blue light in the window. The beautiful silver snowflakes from your 2001 Christmas tree made the memories come flooding back. You are certainly living on through your daughter . . . . she still looks exactly like you! She's a beautiful, happy child, and we know you're so proud of her. We all miss you, Billy. Despite the holes in our hearts, we know you're in a far better place. We'll see you again soon, Friend. Happy New Year!

Our love,
Susan & Louis

Hey Billy
I hope you have a great holiday season. Things are getting worse, I think Christmas is always the hardest time of the year, but maybe, being happy doesn't mean having everything in your life be perfect, maybe it's about putting all the small things together, and making those count for more then the bad things in life. Maybe we just get threw it, and that's all we can ask for.

Please watch over us. We just need to know that it will all be ok. We miss you & love you.
