Mr Wally meant a lot to me and my girls. He always had a hug and smile every day as I dropped my girls off at Punkin Place. He treated us like we were a part of his family. He hired me to be the Summer School Age director and to help instill the love of Christ into them. He trusted me to take school agers to his pool on hot summer days…even though Kyle would want to jump from the roof into the pool!! He encouraged me and prayed with me as a single mom struggling to do what was right. He will be greatly missed!
