Moe and kids:

I just want you to know you and the girls are in my thoughts and prayers. I cannot explain to you how Wally’s death has affected me. Wally was a wonderful man and I enjoyed working and hanging out with him during my time in Riverdale. He and the rest of the guys made me feel like family.

Words cannot express deeply enough how badly I feel for you and the girls.

With love,

I have read the reflections..and I am in tears. Detective Wally was truly loved by all who knew him. I'm dissappointed that I did not have the opportunity to converse with him. I can identify with the lost of a love one...I loss my mother at the age of 16..I know the pain. My heart goes out to the family of Detective Wally..it is my belief that he is watching over you. May God continue to lift you up when you think you can't go on. May God continue to bless you for the strength that you have shown. May God stay in your heart..you will meet again.

With the love of God,
Kim

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
