My Dearest Son
     I miss you oh so much. It’s been a few years but feels like yesterday that  the police came to our home . I let them in and then they told me you were forever gone. I stood in total shock for a few seconds and then could not stop screaming.
  Some idiot rolled thru a stop sign and killed you on your motorcycle.  Your life was snuffed out—just that quickly.  
   Time goes so slow now. I love you my son- I will see you soon when I’m called home- love you forever and miss your bear hugs!
Mama

I love you and miss you so much son.  If I could only hold you one more time….  You are always on my mind and in my heart!!  Love r you- Mom!

This photo was taken at Mary and Don’s in Winder I believe for Thanksgiving. 
Pretty sure it was ‘95 

I tried to NOT remember it was the second year of your passing the other day but of course I think of you every day still so that didn’t work. I still miss you like this happened yesterday and I’ll always love you. You were the MOST impactful person in my life in regards to people and seeing things in others that most are oblivious to. I fell in love with your mind first, then your humor, then your spirit of strength and peace. You were one of a kind Walter Paul 🖤 👼🏼

“During March 12-13, 1993, Alabama            received 12 straight hours of heavy snow as temperatures continued to drop. In some places 2-3 inches came down each hour. All 67 counties in the state received snow, which is extremely rare”. It would become known as The Storm of the Century

Walt and I got stuck at my moms house in Homewood, Al during this snow storm and it was one of the BEST times we had together! He still had his long hair back then and now I only wish we took more photos.

*for anyone interested I’m putting a playlist together on Spotify and Apple (1992-96) it was our first 4 years together and the best times of my life. 

I found an old letter from Walt today that was written in 2012! I believe he wanted me to read it today and it’s getting framed for my wall. Two pages of heart felt words I’ll cherish forever. 🖤 

Walt has always been there for me and I would always be there for him. There is no doubt in my mind that he at rest now. He was loved so deeply by so many. He was one of my closest friends and I will always cherish the fun and wonderful memories I have with him. God bless him and his family. Love always Kat. 

I have so many memories with Walt. One of my favorite is when Mary,myself,and Dane had driven to Florida to see him and he took us all to the beach even though it was cold outside. We all had such a good time. He was one of a kind. Always there when I needed someone to talk to. I'm truly grateful to have had such a wonderful friendship with him. I miss you so much. 

WALT WAS SUCH A KIND SOUL AND DID ANYTHING THAT HE COULD FOR ANYONE THAT NEEDED HELP! I HAVE SO MANY MEMORIES WITH HIM MAKING ME LAUGH AND JUST FILLING THE ROOM WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE OF HIS! MY LAST MEMORIES OF HIM WAS OF HIM HOLDING MY DAUGHTER HAILEY AND HER TELLING HIM HOW MUCH SHE MISSED HIM AND THOSE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH TO LAST A LIFETIME,I SEND MY PRAYERS WITH YOU ALL AND I LOVE YOU WALTER AND YOUR FAMILY VERY MUCH! ❤️

I can't even believe you this, I am sure you are flying high with Benji and both of y'all are smiling down on us. Walt you were more amazing than you let on. You touched so many people, u are missed by many.  


He was so determined to finish hanging the Christmas lights that once it started raining he went back out with the umbrella to keep working on them. And did it being goofy as hell, as always!
