In LOVING Memory

We celebrate the life of Walter Bruce Coelho.  Best friend and confidante. Comforter-in-Chief.  Big brother, boyfriend, mentor.  Handsome man-about-town.  Rabble-rouser.  Instigator.  A student of Renaissance. Lover, poet, musician.  Champion of life's simple pleasures:  bubbly cool water, freshly laundered linens, bouquets of spring's first flowers, eye patches, head bands, knickers.  A writer of sternly worded protests.  A wily, hustling, street smart businessman.  Distinguished academic.  We celebrate this life lived with grace and class.  And mostly, we celebrate days upon days upon days of blessed afternoons curled up on the couch in a warm embrace.  An embrace forever cherished.  An embrace which will not be forgotten.  We salute you, dear Walter.  And we take great solace in knowing you rest in peace.

With much love,
Mamawife, the Big Oaf, Edward and Vernon
