Walter ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2000 22:46:36 -0500 From: Deb Messling Subject: Wally My condolences to Wally's friend and family. Although selfishly I feel sad as hell about the loss our community has suffered today, I'm glad that Wally is at peace and that in his final days he enjoyed the comfort of loving friends, and the comfort of knowing that his beautiful accomplishment will live on.

They give the home a heartbeat. - Joni Mitchell ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2000 22:03:34 -0600 From: Melinda Everett Subject: Goodbye, Wally It is very healing to be able to grieve with all of you. Goodbye, Wally. May you move with grace and ease to your next "destination." I would like to extend comfort and blessings to Wally's closest friends, who experience his absense in a much more tangible way than I do. May you be soothed . . . Love, Melinda in Austin ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2000 23:58:08 -0500 From: "Sue Cameron" Subject: goodbye dear Wally With dread I have been checking Jonimitchell.com. The word from Wally was always anticipated with such joy, and now such sorrow. I sit at my keyboard and my tears are shed in remorse but also in relief that Wally's pain is now over. Thank you Jim for watching over him in his time of need. Our thoughts and prayers might have been with Wally but you were the one that treated him. Thank you for being there. To you dear Wally. What would we all have without you? Because of you we are one, and now that you are gone your memory will live in the hearts and minds of many. You brought together an eclectic group of souls who felt the same as you, and collectively we cry out in our sadness this Friday February fourth. Goodbye sweet friend who gave me the opportunity to meet Joni Mitchell. Farwell fond fellow who passed on my story to SIQUOMB. This day is remembered with an emptiness that can only be filled with Joni's voice. I think I will go and play Blue Motel Room in Wally's memory. I got a blue motel room with a blue bed spread I got the blues inside and outside my head............. Goodbye wonderful Wally, who opened a world to me that I never thought was possible..... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 05 Feb 2000 00:06:32 -0600 From: Scott and Jody Subject: Wally " A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul." - Book of Proverbs 13:19 Thank you Wally! jody ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2000 22:10:18 -0800 From: Robert Holliston Subject: Goodbye, Wally How very hard it is to say goodbye to someone you've never met, but who has brought so much joy, and such a sense of community to your life! Wally, you created something very beautiful and far-reaching: you, along with Les, made it possible for this family to exist. And not an atypical family, either: we have our ups and downs, our disagreements. But we are fueled by love: for Joni, for you, and for one another. It was so hard to look at your beautiful smiling face at jonimitchell.com and read that your life on this earth has ended. You will be sorely missed, and always loved. My heartfelt condolences to Jim and to Leslie, those great friends of Wally who helped him through the worst of times - and were with him to celebrate the happiest of times. I know I've posted these lines from Hermann Hesse before, but here they are again. For Wally Breese: And the unwatched soul will soar in free flight, till in the magic circle of night it lives deeply and a thousand times more......... Goodbye, Wally! with much love, Roberto ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2000 22:31:44 -0800 (PST) From: zapuppy2@webtv.net (Penny) Subject: Wally Wally, The Lord bless you, and keep you; The Lord make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace.
