I just wanted to share our family’s Appreciation of the loving care given to Walt by his Home Health then Hospice nurse Brittney. His CNA as well, sorry my memory is not great.
To all of his caregivers we are grateful and blessed. From Utah HH/Hospice to the caregivers at Coventry! Thank you so much. ♥️
I have many memories of Walt. He was a second cousin and we seemed to bond. He would say the single cousins should stick together. It was nice to have him back in SLC when he came back to get his Doctorate degree about 1992. In 1998 my grist cousin Joan Tebbs Merrill and I had the privilege to drive him out to Dekalb Ill. For his job as a profession there. It was good to have him back in Salt Lake in 2017 for good. He and I would make a point to do lunch/dinner every few weeks. We would go places as well like Tabernacle Choir Converts. Oh how he loved music. I will miss you Walt but I Know you are walking free from pain and physical limitations! ♥️ Til we met again❣️
Walter was a wonderful, bright interesting friend for many years He to came to Houston frequently for visits and attend Houston Grand Opera productions. He also saved my life.iloved our friendship and will miss him terribly. Rest in Peace. My dear friend..
