"Mrs. Walsh was a good friend of my Mom, Claire Krebaum. My family was fortunate to live in AZ for a good part of the 1970s and were friends with all of the Walsh's. We had cookouts and pool parties and an all around great time! I moved back to AZ in the mid-80's and Mrs. Walsh gave me a room in her home. She was always so kind and had a great sense of humor! I was able to visit AZ about 5 years ago and got to see her then, and again just a few months ago. She was a lovely person and I will always be grateful to have known her. My prayers are with her family and I wish them peace. Love, Greta (Krebaum) Kruger"
In loving memory of
Maureen T. Walsh
