Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hey baby
I am trying to get on track with my life and as soon as I think that I have everything under control, all hell breaks loose. In my heart I think that you would want me to do things that I am doing but it is so hard without you by my side to push me. Some of the guys are starting to come around more and help in areas that I need the help in. It is good to see that they still care and are willing to be Kaley and my life. More then ever that is what I need right now. Your friends and co-workers for some reason that makes me feel better.

Baby I love and miss your deeply
Prissy

Billy,

It has been awhile since I have wrote anything alot has changed in my life and on the department. We are trying to push our self out of the cold weather and in to the warm weather we have been real slow the past month. I have been working with Chad on 3rd shift he has taught me alot but he is going to be leaving before long to go to the US Boarder patrol I am not sure if there are that many more on the sheriff's office that I am all that close to Mike is still hear and staying busy but of the orignal group that i used to ride with there is not that many. Chris and lance talk to me alot they like to hollar at me in the middle of the night to see how it is going over here in the county. I could only wish that maybe someday all of us could work together it would make this job alot more fun.... here latly it just seems like any other job I have not talked with Prissy in awhile i need to get over and visit with them. Billy keep an Eye on us up there. I Know that you are still patroling with us down here.

762,
Just a quick note letting you know that I saw Prissy a few days ago. She looked great. I know I haven't left a meesage in a while but it is still hard to think about "one of the team" being taken from us. I couldn't go to your memorial service. I was just not ready for that. I know your in the passenger seat on my shifts and your always in my head. Keep an eye on us. Miss you 762!

Love,

Billy,
Just a line to let ya know that I'm thinking of you. Still hard not to hear you on the radio or coming into dispatch. You already know how things are going here. Told a joke on the radio about how many deputies it takes to change a tire, but I'm sure you heard it. I don't think they thought it was funny, but I did! Continue to watch over us as all of us continue to say our prayers for Prissy and Kaley. Take care 762.

Hey baby
Chris came down for a few days. It was really good seeing him, he seems like like he's doing pretty good. Going to come up here for school in the fall. I'm really glad for that, Kaley will have a blast with him. She has been saying his name and playing with him. It makes me sad also, cause I know you would have loved to see your brother here and you to would have had so much fun.
Kaley and I have been stuck in the house for a couple of days now because of the ice storm. But have had a good time. She keeps me going.
I miss you greatly
Prissy

Hey Billy, 2003 came a lil quick. Wonder what this year will bring us? Thoughts and memories still appear leaving me happy and sad. Remember the time I rode with you running Federal Overtime writing tickets on Brannon Road. You had a stack of citations ready to write and only ONE pen. I recall asking what if that pen runs out of ink and you replied it's never happened. Low and behold the first car you stopped - the pen ran out of ink and you had to go into the church to borrow a pen so you could finish writing the violator. The look you gave me and swearing you'd never let me ride again :)
It's a good feeling to recall some of the better times that seem to drown out the sad ones. Kinda neat to see so many others following your footsteps, the same ones that led me to where I am. Hope you will keep an eye on them ( Jon, Josh, Lance, and maybe soon to be Kato )
God Bless you Billy Ray Walls; so many lives have been influenced by your accomplishments. Looking forward to the day we meet again. Spread a lil joy toward Prissy and Kaley, I am sure they could use it in their endeavor to continue on.

Dear Billy,

You've been gone 15 months today, and another Valentine's Day is upon us. You're on our minds and in our hearts EVERY day, and you always will be. The events of that week in November of 2001 will forever be some of our most painful memories; it all still seems like a very bad dream.

We take comfort in knowing that your every moment is now wonderfully joyful, peaceful, and safe in God's glorious presence. Happy Valentine's Day, Billy. We miss you.

Our love,

Susan and Louis Prater
Friends

Prissy,
We have never met but I've read many of the things you have written here to/about Billy. You see, he was killed shortly after my first husband (a state trooper) was killed in the line of duty. We didn't have any children but I know the pain that you feel each day without your Billy. I wanted to let you know that everyone is different and moves on at different paces. Just know that it is okay to try to love and be loved again. You don't have to stop loving Billy to do this....I have remarried but I still love my first husband like never before. It's okay to let someone else in your life to love you and your little girl. From what I've read about Billy, he would want someone to be there to take care of you and your little girl and to make both of you happy. You know how crappy it feels right now to be alone......give it try........what's the worst that could happen? You could feel loved and happy again!!! I'll keep you in my prayers.

A week from today will be Valentines Day.... This is my 2nd one without you. I see all the heart's day things out and it gets me so sick and mad that you aren't here to share it with us. Another couple holiday that I am by myself, just me and Kaley. At daycare they are having a little party, passing out cards and giveing the kids candy(sounds like fun). Kaley made you a Valentine Card.
She is starting to be aware that all the other kids have a man that they call "daddy" pick them up. I see this confused look on her face, 'cause when we come home she picks up your picture and looks at it and back at me with a question in her voice says "dada". I can't explain it to her she is still to young, hell I can bearly explain it to myself.
I love you and miss you greatly with everyday that passes.

You are flying high Billy, shining brightly! You are in our hearts and we will always remember! Missin' you 762.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6

Prissy, everyday on my way to work I pray this prayer for you and Kaley, please know that even without seeing you or talking to you, I keep you both close in my heart. Billy Walls will never be far from anybody whose life he touched, and everyone who knew him knows just how much he loved you and lil'bit. He is watching you and loving you from Heaven, and I am sure of this, he would want you to be happy, so do what you need to do, for you.
You are in my prayers always...
Isaiah 40:41

Billy,
It has taken me over a year to write this. I still can't believe your gone! You are still really missed. Your memory is still fresh in my mind. God Bless.

Dear Priscilla,
I read these reflections almost every day. Don't be afraid to move on. You'll always keep Billy in your heart, and the memories will never go away. You deserve to find happiness, and I think you're feeling guilty in wanting/needing to find it.. Billy loved you soooo much, and you know he wants you to be happy.

By moving on, it doesn't mean that you're forgetting Billy, or that you no longer love or miss him. You're human, and you have needs. Don't continue to torment yourself with guilt, or worry about what others may think. Everyone wants you to be happy.

God Bless you, and that baby.

Prissy,
I know you are struggling with the idea of starting over while not forgetting Billy. He would understand. He was such an understanding person. Just remember that you deserve to be happy. Although it is hard to think about, you have a long life ahead of you so LIVE it for you and Kaylee!!!!!!!!!!

I was in Nicholasville the other day speaking with some of the guys that work at the SO now. I really don't think they have any idea of how you changed the SO. You brought a force that still is there today. You and a few others changed it from paper service to a strong agency that many people model. You were firm but fair! Thats what I hope people remember about you.

Friend

hang in there, Prissy, we are all pulling for you even if we don't see or talk to you.....

Hey baby
I just wanted to say hey and that things here are more confusing then ever and I sometimes don't know what direction my life is taking me. I feel so alone and don't want to reach out right now, just want to figure it out by myself. I guess to know that I can, that I can do something for myself. I hate alot about my life. That I have to start over with so much and that your not here. I want it to be as it was not "starting over". I just and to damn old and hurt. I don't know if I will ever be happy again at least in the sence I was with you. I don't want to put all my trust, heart and time into anyone and get hurt all over again. I'm tried. I want to be happy, you would think that by now that I could try. But the understanding thing for me is still hard. I can be happy of alittle bit then it seems that everything falls apart in the blink of an eye. I don't know if it is just in my eyes and I'm not letting myself or if I am going crazy. Baby I just need some help. Please guide me in the direction that I need to be in.

Just thinking about all the fun we use to have... We really miss you more and more every day. Love Deb

1/23/03 Billy just wanted to let you know I am thinking about you. We got some beautiful snow last night and as I look out my window, I am amazed at how beautiful it looks. But then I wonder is this anything compared to what Heaven will look like? Please comfort Prissy at this time as she needs your help.Help her to move forward. She is so strong. But we can all use a little help sometimes.

Love ya ooooxxxx

Hey baby
The past last week I have really needed you help. Please help me, help me understand with the hell is going on in my life. Am I suppost to be happy or make everybody around me happy and by doing that me just live. I want to be happy but not at the cost of my friends. Please help me understand with it is I am to do.

As we begin yet another year we can't help but thinking of our memories of you. Every family gathering, croquet match, football playstation game, hearts, we can't help thinking about you. Now when the song Bad Boys comes on my thoughts go to thinking of you. You are truly missed by the Parido clan, and we will continue to keep Prissy and Kaley close in our hearts. Megan misses you and you would be proud of her, she gave a testimony in your honor last Sunday. She told me you visited her. Thanks. I hope it helps. We can't help but want to keep you here. But yet we know you are at a much greater place. We love you and miss you.

Happy New Year, Billy...hug Prissy, she is an inspiration,but we all know she is really hurting...

Happy New Year Billy....We made a toast to you with your favorite drink on New Years Eve. I had a few light weights with me and they couldn't do a whole shot for you but a least they tried. It is just not the same without you to make us laugh and to be the life of the party. I just want you to know that you are always on our minds and in our conversations, no matter what we are doing something always reminds us of you. We miss you very much dear friend...let Prissy know that it is ok.......Love Deb
