"Wir hatten immer eine schöne Zeit mit dir, wenn du zu Besuch bei deiner Schwester Barbara in Neumarkt warst. Mit dir gab es jedesmal eine Menge zu lachen, wenn du uns Geschichten aus Amerika erzählt hast. Wir werden uns immer gern an dich erinnern. Deine Schwester Barbara, Thomas und Rosmarie mit Familie."

"Liebe Wally! Noch haben wir es nicht realisiert, dass Du von uns gegangen bist. Wir fühlen uns noch sehr stark mit Dir verbunden. Wie haben wir uns auf Deine Besuche gefreut! Es war jedesmal ein Erlebnis, Dich in unserer Mitte zu haben. Deine umkomplizierte, aufgeschlossene und lebensbejahende Art hat uns schlichtweg begeistert. Schlechte Laune war Dir fremd - Deine positive Einstellung zum Leben war unvergleichlich. Wir vermissen Dich sehr!!! Du warst im Herzen immer noch sehr mit Deiner Oberpfälzer Heimat verbunden, weshalb wir es vorziehen, in Deiner Sprache von Dir Abschied zu nehmen. Liebe Wally, im Gedanken bist Du immer unter uns. Deine Schwägerin, Eva Deine Nichte, Gerlinde, mit Familie"

"We spent so much wonderful time together. There was always something special when you came to visit us in Germany. Your laughing at your ease and your zest for life has always conjured up a laugh in our face. We will always remember you in our hearts and you never forget."

"I remember going to visit my grandfather "Gramps" and Wally when I was a child at the Linconway Trail Motel in Clinton. They would ask us "Do you kids want a sodie?" And we would get either nickels or quarters and run over and get a pop. Wally lived with my Gramps for 15 years and we would go visit often. My mothers name is Betty (Kapinski) Armstrong."

"To the family. Wally was always energetic, smiling and full of advice. She brings a smile to me when I think of her German flavored English and her laughter. God comfort you all. "
