Letter from Readers at M A MEDIA
Hope for peace
Christmas is the time of year when people wish others well and remember all our loved ones we hold dear to us.
Our brother, Wally Morgan Thompson, went missing Nov. 1, 2005, and was found murdered in McGregor March 2006.
My hope for this year is to find the answers to who and why Wally was murdered. I hope that if anyone knows, that they will do the right thing so that maybe Wally’s family can find some peace. I think of my brother every day. It does not matter if it’s been two years or 10 years, he is still on my mind and always will be.
This year, my only daughter named her firstborn child Andrew Morgan in honor and remembrance of Wally because he meant so much to all of us. Wally may not be here with us but his name will live on through love of family.
Wally was a beautiful person. We love and miss him every day and always will. Every time I experience kindness from others, I think of Wally because he was so kind. Family was everything to Wally.
I could not let the Christmas season pass without writing about Wally and asking anyone who knows what happened to him to do the right thing and maybe give back some peace to our lives. I know my brother would want this for his family and the ones he loved.
I appreciate everything that everyone has already done for our family and I will continue to search for the answers. My brother deserves at least that much from all of us.
If you have any information, please contact the Aitkin County Sheriff’s Department at 927-7435.
Mary Jo Delaney (sister) and family, Brainerd
