Walker Pearce

December 18, 1946 – June 7, 2013 
Fallen Heroine and Soldier for the GLBT Community

Walker quietly and without fanfare fought hard for our community, by donating her time, her largess, and with her unflinching determination to always do what was right and just.

Peace
Silently trees cast their shadows;
Night and darkness are near.
The Sun goes down slowly
And the time for peace is here.

I love this time of the day
For now my thoughts are clear.
I now can stop and thank the Lord
For putting me right here.
