Since James has known Ken for a long time we were hoping you would let us pray for you at this time. Now we know our love one has finally found his peace, may you find it too with family and friends who care.

Dear Rene,
Mary and I already miss Wally. How much more must you after 65 years of marriage!
We are sure that you will happily recall your exotic travels together, which you generously shared with us at local exotic restaurants.
What a life! What a man!
With respect,
Patrick and Mary Killough
Rene,
To have met Wally even once was to have never forgotten him. I remember my first experience at your new place in Givens where he described at length( and hilariously) his unusual breakfast choices at 12:00 PM. When it came to matters theatrical, he was content to let you occupy ‘center stage,’ but when paired with you in comedy sketches, he more than held his own. His timing, self-deprecating humor, and sly wit made him a very funny man. I wish I had known him longer. I liked and appreciated him very much.
