Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It's sad to me to visit, and see that reflections aren't being left as often as they use to be. I know we have to move on, but it's still comforting to atleast be able to visit and write what we are thinking to you, even though i'm sure you hear our prayers. you are still thought of and so highly respected and forever will be. God Bless, continue to rest in peace.

Happy Father's Day!!!!!
You would have been such a good daddy, if you had been given more time. In just the time that you did have, you were great, you were so proud and soooo happy about your little girl. I know she'll know how much you loved her, and how happy she made your life. God Bless you and comfort Kaley always.

The Policeman stood
and faced his God
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, Policeman
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders
and said, "no. Lord I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,]
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Thought I worked a lot of overtime,
when the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

So, if you've a place for me,
Lord, it needn't be so grand,
I've neither expected nor had
too much,
But if you don't I'll understand."

There was silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the policeman waited quietly,
for the judgement of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman,
you’ve borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven’s streets,
you’ve done your time in hell."

Hello Billy. Just thinking of you, as I do a lot. Still doesn't seem real sometimes, that you're really gone. Looking out @ the memorial for you & Chuck is still sooo heart trenching. I know we shouldn't ask why or doubt God's work, but man, it's hard not to ask why. A day doesn't go by that something doesn't remind us of you, and either trigger a smile or a tear, but always a lump in our hearts. you're still sadly missed.

Billy,
It has been a while since I have written on here. But just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking about you lately. Buntain's department and mine merged on Derby day so we are working together again. Speaking of which, He got married this past weekend and he made sure he had a picture of you there. It was sitting with the guest book in the entrance of the church with a candle. I need to get up with Prissy and get one of those buttons with your picture if she has any left. I got in David's cruiser to take it to his house and there was his right on the sun visor. I really would like one.
Well I guess I better go for now. I just wanted to drop a line on here since I've been bad not to in a while.
Talk to you later man,
Bo

Billy - I had to make a trip with Meg to the UK Sports Clinic today, she injured her finger playing fastpitch. And all I could think about was you. Remembering the fall at Eastern, then when you had your leg run over. And my last time, on that tragic day in November.

I remember you staying with us over Christmas one year and me helping nurse you back to health. You were never much trouble, always so appreciative. I remember wanting to take your picture, when you stayed with us and you fighting with me not to take it, cause you said I would black mail you. And us laughing.

You were always such a quick healer. I was just sure when they called me on that November day that we were just going to put you back together again. I kept praying on the way to the hospital. Now I know that God needed you more than we.

Prissy has moved on with her life and we knew she would, you would be proud of her, like you have always been. Kaley bug is such a handful. So full of life!! She is a cutey.

Billy I miss you, I miss those corny jokes of yours, you never knew till you started on the punch line how corny they would be. My thoughts are with you around this time also as we get ready to remember your birthdate, and celebrate Phil's and Kaley's. Take care. We love you today and always,

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003).

We all grieve over the lives lost in the line of duty. I hope you can find some comfort knowing that there are countless prayers that go out for your family. It is obvious by the reflections that Deputy Walls was a wonderful man.

These are senseless tragedies that never seem to stop. God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

...Gone, but never Forgotten....

Oh Billy, here we go again. As you know, Joe Northup has now joined you. Please look after him - you know how shy he is, ha ha. Until we meet again 762 and 290....and all the rest....you guys will live on in our hearts. We'll cherish our memories- we'll laugh sometimes and cry sometimes but we will always remember and be thankful that you were in our lives. Even though we didn't get to keep you nearly long enough, we are truly blessed for having known you.

Still think of you often, Billy, and wonder why you had to go so young....but God knows all things....and your short life was not wasted by any means. Glad to hear that Prissy is moving on with her life....I'm sure you would want her to. Rest in peace, Billy.

March 26, 2004

I get on this web site about every day. Sometimes I come to your reflections to read stories about you and your too short life here. Some days I can't get past your picture. I see you and think, you can't be gone you must be here where I can talk to you. I can still sometimes hear your voice telling me about a case or an arrest that you made. I wish I could have stopped it all! I want so much to change that day and others after. I am still looking for answers. We all are still looking for answers. But, I will not stop looking....

Lt. Cowen's funeral is in an hour, I know you gave her the grand tour. You are still a fond memory that pops up often in my mind and heart. I pray daily for Prissy and Kaley, I hope it helps...it is getting a little crazy down here, watch our backs, Billy, I'll see you at the Pearly Gates...169

Hey there Billy how are things going up there i hope that you welcomed Lt. Cowen. As you know she was a fireperson. I hope that you show her around up there. you know they should have something like this for the firemen and women.
I'm sure that their family and friends would like to have a place like this for them to go to and leave their thoughts and prayers too. We all still think about you every day and miss you even more. I always pray for prissy and kaley.I just wanted to say thank you for being the person that you were
you are still an inspiration to us all

again Thank You Billy

HEY BILLY.
JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, THAT YOU ARE STILL THOUGHT OF SO VERY OFTEN. NEVER WILL BE FORGOTTEN.

February 3, 2004

Hey Billy, just wanted to say I got a memorial sticker for my car and it seems like everywhere I look there are reminders....it's nice to look around and know that you are still with us in our hearts and always will be. You made a difference and I hope someone will be able to say the same about me when my time comes.

Thoughts of you come today as it MLK Day and we are out of school to acknowledge this holiday. It has snowed here and in some ways it reminds me of heaven. Billy I know your looking out for all of us but your brother Phillip needs some extra special looking out for, your mother too. Everything has taken such a toll on her. WE miss Kaley and don't see her as much as we use to, she's growing up quickly, but when we do see her, we can easily tell she is your child, with that beautiful smile and those blue eyes, and then again my thoughts return to you. And remember when you were growing up. Please look over Prissy, Kaley and especially Phillip.
I miss you!
Love always, Karen

Hey bub. I wanted to let you know that me and Jennie got engaged over Christmas. We also bought a house. You probably already knew all this. I remember the talks we had in your cruiser. I miss those talks. I have thought about you alot lately. I was unpacking yesterday and found a letter you wrote me while I was in Boot Camp. That seems like so long ago. I know that right now you are looking down over all of us. Look down on all of our family and help them through any tough times. Pull everybody up when they start to slip. We all miss you everyday. There are a few family members that right now need to feel you more than ever. I know that you can help out with this. Your daughters Christmas picture was gorgeous. She looks like you in the eyes. But for all the girl aspects she looks like her momma. Be with me this spring as I start to persue my career in Law Enforcement. I know I will have alot of questions and I know you have the answers. We all think about you and miss you more than anything. I will be talking to you in my dreams and prayers. Sleep tight Billy.
