  • So sorry and saddened to hear of Mrs. Walker’s passing. I’ve known Mrs. Walker for over fifty years and always considered her a “second mom”. She always treated me as one of her own. Lots of great memories at the Walker house back in the day and I’m so glad that I had recently started back visiting her on a regular basis. John, Joey and Red – my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Take comfort in knowing that your mom is now reunited with your dad, Mike and other loved ones in HEAVEN! RIP sweet lady.
