"Mr. Walsh, aka Kelly's dad, was such a warm and giving person. I remember when I first met Kelly in 1998 and he was always there for her. Very involved dad and grandpa for Amelia. I'm sure there are many wonderful memories to hold onto that will stay in your heart. Sending hugs and prayers to the Walsh and Ford family!Love, Meredith, Ben, Nicole, Jeremy and Arthur"
