"Wally, When I first heard your name, I asked myself , hmm who is this Wally lady, and what is so special about "Wally", that I now sit at the same desk she once sat at. When I first met you, I felt slightly intimated but also excited because..... well let's face it, us Ricans stick together. As time went on I discovered so much about you but the discovery that stuck out the most to me was your strength. Your strength was so immense and admirable. When I learned about the challenges that were put upon you, your strength became even more powerful to me. You never once showed weakness, instead you showed an immense amount of courage. Most importantly, you never once judged me or formed opinions about me regardless of what you were told. You judged me on how YOU, Wally, felt about little Ol' Rosa; and who would've known we had so much in common, from our taste in music, novelas, feistiness, and just life in general. You always gave me your best advise as if I was a family member and always made me feel welcomed. My wish for you on your new journey is eternal peace and for your memory to live on for many decades to come to those you tenderly touched with your presence and strength, including me . My deepest and most sincerest condolences to the Buvet family. Rosa Delateja "
