Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Billy Ray Walls, III
Hey Billy, how are you doing? I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and I happy new year..I miss you tons! We are thinking of you always!
Love you and miss you!

Merry Christmas, Billy!
You're celebrating your 5th Christmas in Heaven, and I'm sure we can't begin to imagine the glory of it all!! To be in the presence of our Lord as we celebrate His birth must be nothing short of breath-taking. I'll be singing 'O Holy Night' on Christmas morning in my church, and I'll be thinking of you and so many others who are with you, just trying to imagine the sights and the sounds of Heaven on that day!
We miss you so much and selfishly wish you could be here with us. Kaley is the spitting image of you and is SO full of life and love; I know you're very proud of her. She points to your picture and speaks very freely of "my daddy," with such uninhibited affection. She's a special little girl.
We're still wishing we could "take back" the events of November 13, 2001, but it's not to be. We're sure you can see that so much of our world is a mess and in such dire need of God's strength and guidance. It surely won't be much longer before He pours out His Judgment, as the Bible promises. We look so forward to seeing you, Billy. Please save us a spot.
Take care of yourself, and have a blessed and glorious Christmas!
Our love,
Susan & Louis Prater

Billy,
It's hard to believe that it has been four years. I was thinking about you today and can't seem to understand why things happen the way they do. I am grateful to have you looking over me and other officers on the street. You will never be forgotten.

Remembering you and your sacrifice
on the 4th anniversary of your
departure. What a loss this is for
all who knew you and for some who
didn't. The sacrifice was too great a
price.

It's aint fair you died to young
like a story that had just begun
but death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
all the hell that i've been threw
just knowing no one can take your place
and sometimes I wonder
who you'd be today

Hello my love. With each year my pain is deeper. I have such a heavy heart knowing that Kaley and you are missing out on so much. From what your mom has told me she has your temper and throughs fits like you did.... But Kaley is missing out on so much being without you. The jokes, smiles, witty comments, the love...... thats what I wish that she could know.. thats with I miss..The gentle touch, you had that could make all my worries go away, the touch that made me know how important I really was. There is so many things that I miss and so many wishes that will never come true.. I love you with all my heart...

Hi, Billy -
On Sunday it will be 4 years since you left us. Seems completely impossible. We all think about you, talk about you, and miss you unendingly. We can't begin to imagine the beauty of your surroundings, but we look more and more forward to joining you, and so many others we love, to share those glorious, endless days in the presence of the Lord. You're always in our hearts and in our minds.
Our love,

Hey Billy, I haven't been on here in awhile but it never gets any easier. I keep up with Kaley through Marcy - she's quite a character - I know you are so proud. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and sometimes it seems you've been gone so long. We still remember....Thank you!!!

Dear Billy,
It's one of those "13th" days that always brings sadness and dread to my heart, especially as the clock seems to be RACING toward the 4-year anniversary of your being taken from us. We're still shocked and stunned, and we're so frustrated that we can't make time STOP for a while so that we can grieve as we need to. You were gone so FAST . . . we'll never get used to the sudden emptiness. But we'll always remember that smile, we'll always be grateful we knew you, and we look forward to seeing you again VERY SOON!!!
Miss you -

A lot of things have changed and a lot of things have stayed the same. What has not changed is all of our love to you and your family. WE WILL NEVER FORGET!!! I got to go to work and pick up where you left off. Because you would have kept fighting for us.

IT'S APPROACHING THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER. YOU ARE THOUGHT OF EVERY DAY. BUT EVERY YEAR AROUND THIS TIME,MOODS START TO CHANGE, AND THE VIVID MEMORY COMES BACK TO HAUNT US. WATCHING 9/11 ON THE TV W/YOU, AND THEN LOSING YOU SO SHORTLY THERE AFTER. IT'S IN MY MIND SO CLEARLY, LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.
SO MANY THINGS HAVE CHANGED AROUND HERE, GUYS ARE COMING & GOING, IT'S JUST NOT THE SAME. WE'VE LOST SOME GOOD GUYS, AND MAY LOSE SOME MORE.
YOUR SADLY MISSED AND FOREVER WILL BE.

I have been to this page many times in the past few years, but never could write. I guess I didn't know exactly what to say, and still don't. I didn't know you as well as I did Chuck, and I was so bothered by this whole situation. I am about your age and also have a young child. I just want you to know that your memory is an inspiration to me. I would also like to say that you should be proud of your wife. She has kept your memory alive and well. Your daughter certainly has parents she can look up to, and thats rare nowdays. Thank You Billy.

Hey Billy,
Sorry I haven't been keeping you up to date. Michelle and I got engaged a while ago and we got married on June 25th. I guess that makes me your brother-in-law.
I've been slacking and have gotten out of practice at Risk since I played you. I figure I should start playing again before I get too rusty. I miss ya man.
Later,
Jack

Hey Billy, just thinking about you today, rainy, cooler, just one of those days. I look at your picture and it still doesn't seem real, although I know it is. This is going fast, almost 4 years. I hear Kaley is growing like a weed and everybody says she is you to the T. You always come up in conversation....Take care, Billy....
