Kevin Reilly wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Meg and Family, We are so sorry for your loss. While your "western" cousins exposure to Walter was fewer and far between ( from our sporadic NY visits and the historic Ireland 1999 tour and some others), those memories are nonetheless filled with his smiles and laughter and his twinkling eyes. Continued prayers for all of you. Kevin and Cathy Reilly”
