ONE OF THE NICE GUYS GOES TO HEAVEN
He was a nice guy, you probably knew him, or saw him at mass...
His name was Wallace Burgess, but his friends called him Wally. And you probably didn't see him without his beloved wife, Pilar and if you knew them as a couple, you'd know that her nickname is, 'Polly', two of the island's nicest people. Both involved in the arts, especially the Symphony Society. Wally known to the community for his own craft as a CPA. You might have had him do your books but before long, he became a friend and not long after that, became a part of your family.
He doted on his wife all the way to the end. Pilar, with the assist of the discomfort of crutches walked the long halls of the hospital watching over Wally praying for his recovery, or at least making him comfortable as he waited for God's call. In these days of divorce, it fills the heart that love can transcend 'til death do us part. All the love that Pilar gave Wally will bear him as he makes his way to Heaven and will be her comfort, knowing that she was there night and day in full support of the man she adored.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Polly. Wally's in a place where there's no suffering, that has to give you some comfort.
"And He will raise you up on eagles' wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand. "
Slán leat, Wally, adios.
