 WALLIS, OLIN Olin Wallis died from leukemia at age 22, ten years ago on June 24, 2003. Dear Olin: Every day for ten years we have missed you and your crazy antics. We learned so much from you about how to enjoy life, even with its struggles. Everyone who knew you will remember your courage, compassion and clever wit. Meredith wrote these words ten years ago for you: "Olin will be remembered not just by the words that describe him -- friendly, active, caring, enthusiastic, intelligent, hilarious -- but by the fact that no list of attributes or activities could ever encompass him." You were always kind enough to appreciate the people who helped you, and we appreciate everyone's kindness during your illness and since then. We know you would support our suggestion here. With much love, Mom, Dad, and your sister Meredith. If friends desire, please remember Olin by donating to the Children's Cancer Fund of New Mexico, www.ccfnm.org, phone 505-243-3618. They continue to help many children and their families here in NM. Terri, David, and Meredith Wallis
