My deepest condolences to all of you in the loss of your father and brother. I wish we would have met, but distance didn't make that possible. Together we share a beautiful little granddaughter. God's blessings to all of you. Kathryn A Wojtalewicz

I want to send my condolences to Wally’s (Wallace’s) family. He was a wonderful & kind man! Also, a hard worker! My name is Mary Petersen & I was the Charge Nurse (RN) who worked with Wally (as we knew him) in Bend, OR. He was really well liked by the staff & always treated everyone well! We recently texted because I too have cancer & how we tried to remain positive in our care! RIP Wally! We will never forget you!
