A poem:
"Little dove I love you so;
I don't know why you had to go.
But spread your wings
and fly my love, soar above
the world my dove.
Paint the sky in indigo,
let your graceful colors 
flow, and I'll search 
the sky for your rainbow."

Nori,    

My heart goes out to you and I send a glowing sunset in Walter's memory.

Nori - I am so sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

When I first saw you and Walter together it was obvious the love you shared for each other.  My heart breaks for your loss.  Walter will live on forever in the cherished memories you have of your life together.

Nori- Walter's light will always shine brightly in your heart.

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Nori, 
There was a time when I realized that most of the people I loved had passed, and for a time I struggled to find something to hold onto. I had never felt so alone, felt so betrayed by fate, so lost. I didn't know what to do, and though I could not look to the center of my grief, I also found that I could not look away. So, without reservation, no sense of embarrassment or guilt, I resolved to live in that moment, to live, to be angry, to be to hurt, and when tears came, I let them come. 

For a time all I could see in front of me was all that had been taken, but with faith and patience, I came to realize that laughter would come again, and that I would feel warm in the embrace of so many amazing moments that I had shared. In time all that had hurt me consoled me, all the tears and regret were replaced by gratitude for the time I was given. I have found peace, my life has moved in a new direction with love purpose and hope. 

As long as you live, you will carry a part of Walter with you, and he will live in all that knew him. There will be times when you may feel alone, but if you look to all of those that you touched, you will see that we are here, and if you should feel the need to reach out, we will reach back.

Nori,  Deeply saddened for your loss.  Walter was a wonderful gentleman.  I am so glad our paths crossed.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Nori, in the day and weeks and months that come, I am here for you as are so many, many friends.  You and Walter had such a special and close relationship, I cannot imagine your loss. . . even sending my love and prayers for you seem inadequate.

Dear Nori, I am so sorry for your loss of Walter. My heart goes out to you. He was a good man that was taken too soon. The two of you were so good together. He was a man of many words and always had a good story to tell.(smile) He will be missed. 
Love, Sue

Nori- My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. No words can describe how sorry I am for your loss. Thinking of you with love and friendship,

Nori.....Thinking about you at this difficult time.  You are in my prayers.  I remember the quick time I met your wonderful Walter when all of us were in San Francisco with the company.  God Bless.

Nori - Never met Walter, but the pictures paint a man of many smiles. You have my thoughts, and very best wishes through this very tough time. Talk to you soon and take care. Ken Rossburg

I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am so very sorry about the loss of Walter, Nori. I know how how close you were and always enjoyed seeing the smile on your face when you talked about him. I will never forget you telling me when you met him and how he had a twinkle in his eye and a cute rear end. ;-). It was always a pleasure to talk to him when he would call the office. 

My thoughts and prayers are with you. 

Love,

Michelle

The friendship and love expressed by these pictures tell a story of a wonderful gregarious man. My heart and thoughts go out to you, Nori, and all of the family who will miss him so much.  I am thankful for the few times I got to be in Walter's presence and experience his fun personality and enjoyable story-telling.  But most of all I loved watching the love and friendship he expressed to you, Nori, whenever he spoke or looked at you we all knew he adored you. He is an amazing soul and we are so sad he was taken so soon.

When I met Walter for the first time I could immediately tell that he had a big heart and full of personality! A wonderful man was taken way too soon.  I'm so sorry and I know he will be missed by many. 

Matt Pilliter

So very saddened and humbled to learn that Walter had been taken too soon.  He was a fun and vibrant man and will be missed.

Nori, we are so sad to hear of your loss. Sending BIG, BIG, BIG HUGS your way!

Nori,
May the love of your friends and family surround you and fill your heart as you journey down this unexpected road. Be sure to be kind and gentle with yourself, knowing Walter's presence and love will always be with you. You were the light of his life.
Sending you and your family lots of love and warm hugs.
Jim and Patty Beverly

Darling Walter, our time together was cut far too short by your passing.  I don't have the words to express how much I will miss you and how empty I feel.  The comfort I have is knowing that you will always be looking out for me and we will be together again some day.  You are and will remain the love of my life.  Nori

I will always remember Wally as a happy, eccentric, big hearted brother-n-law. He was Uncle Walter to all our kids and grandkids. I thank him for loving and taking care of Nori all these years. In her words "he was the love of her life." Keep watching over all of us Wally! 
All my love, Chris
