Wally

While in Brandesburton we met a wonderful elderly couple. They were so sweet to us and always wanted to have Family Home Evening with us. While we were there they had some health problems and even a car accident. I became really close to them during the time we lived there. In April Wally had an accident at home. He woke up one sunday morning, walked outside and fell off a step. He hit his head pretty hard, they were worried about hemorrhaging and he also broke his hip. They took him to the hospital. My visiting teaching partner and I took his wife to see him the next day. He was in pretty bad shape. It broke my heart to see him like that. About a week later he passed away. Wally was a wonderful man and we will never forget him!

This picture is when Rylan was trying to show Wally

his iPod and all the cool things it can do.

Wally was super impressed that it could take a picture and

then send it to the printer!

We had to get a picture with all the kids.

I'm just sad we didn't get Marie in the picture also...

 My kids and I went over to the Chiles' house to help out while they were down. The kids were sent into the backyard to do some weed pulling. As they were out there Wally started freaking out because they were pulling the little yellow flowers! Yeah, they were Dandelions. He loved them and said they were so great because they just kept multiplying each year and it was like a sea of yellow!
Well, at his funeral Delaney and I picked a bunch of Dandelions and had them in a nice little vase. He would have loved them!

We love you Wally! You will definitely be missed!
