<div>Our dear Wally and Edna Watson, two of the most generous people we know, have given their all to their river family and friends for 50 years. Now it’s our turn to help them.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Wally was diagnosed in the beginning of May with an inoperable brain tumor and a prediction of a few months left to live. But Wally only had 10 days at home to garden, socialize, and enjoy his time on the river before things progressed quickly. Wally passed on the morning of May 22nd, surrounded by love, with Edna at his side. His passing was peaceful, and he did not suffer.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Wally was big hearted, donating countless rafting trips to schools and community groups so local kids could get on the river. He coached Little League and maintained the ball field for decades. He donated his carpentry skills to help people build or repair homes; and started the Top Dog Fishing Derby as a fun event, bringing folks together to celebrate fishing. When there were calls for volunteers, Wally was there.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Edna has wrestled with progressive losses of mobility from Parkinson’s over the last years. Over more than 30 years, she was a top-notch classroom and special education teacher, volunteering past retirement. Edna was so devoted to the kids that behind the scenes, she gave families support in the form of clothing, food, tutoring, arranging transportation, help with navigating educational systems, filling out applications, and organizing events. Whenever Edna could help us out, she did it with unconditional love and compassion.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Wally has medical and funeral expenses. Edna is no longer able to live independently. Our goal is to cover Wally’s expenses and raise funds for Edna’s care to give her safety, dignity and comfort. Give whatever you can, every bit is appreciated, and please give big, as Wally and Edna would. Please share.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love, the Team

<div>If you have any questions or would like to make a larger direct donation please contact us and we'll get you in touch with Pam Ward.
