I met Walt one time, we played softball against him and his team on Tuesday night, three night prior to him going to be with the lord. I was very touched by his story and really just wanted to say I feal like I have lost a great friend I would have known for many years in the softball world. I loved the tribute to him from the team the following week as they honored him in the first inning and also throught the entire game. I wish the family well and can only state keep your heads up.

It was a beautiful, bright, spirited young girl I saw in a photo. Maria reminded me so much a young co-worker, her looks, her smile, her hopes; that was when the tears were shed. What a loss for the community and the future!
Heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and all who knew her. May God bless you all, and hold you close always.

I worked with Walt in the Western-Pacific Regional Office. He had the warmest smile and was always pleasant. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Fuller family. Feeling your loss from across the country.

First of all, My deepest condolences go out to the family and friends that Donna (my sweetheart) came in contact with and touched so many of our hearts and lives. She will be missed forever by so many of us. God Bless Donna and her family at this difficult time.

When I first heard the news Saturday morning I was in a state of shock and couldn't believe it. I stopped what I was doing and began to cry when my son asked Dad "what is wrong" and all I could do was hug him. Always remember to tell your kids and family you love them each and every day.

I had the privledge of being Donna's Supervisor when she came from Division 7 to work in Stationery. She was a awesome person and always had a positive attitude. She helped so many of us and made my job so much easier. When they transferred me it was hard for me to say goodbye to Donna and Kenney because they were my work family. I stayed in contact with Donna just because she always made me smile.

Now I have to say goodbye to Donna again and it is so difficult. When I look up at the heavens above I know that Donna our newest angel is looking down on us with her smile.

Goodbye Donna for now but we will meet again. God Bless.
