Meet the Walters

Faron is at Canton, Ohio for coaching for the Birmingham Stallions. They played against New Orleans Breakers. The Stallions won over the Breakers 31-17, and they will face the Philadelphia Stars next Sunday. The head coach of the Stallions is Skip Holtz. The announcers announced Faron's birthday and a huge celebration for him.

On New Year's day 2022, Marla had a phone call from Patsy, Arlie's wife, said that Arlie passed away of COVID-19. Arlie is Marla's brother. That same day, Marla was watching ESPN saying that Dan Reeves has passed away. Her kids were not related to the man from Rome, Georgia. Four days later, Micah Parsons had COVID-19, his mom Sherese took his son Malcolm to babysit at Marla's house, and she is taken care of Micah. Marla finally babysit Malcolm. Hours later, a phone call came, it was Ralph Neely's son Dale said that his father had passed away. The next day, Marla and several Cowboys players prayed about the two after Kyle took Malcolm home. Marla hugged all of them. Marla was thinking about of the loss of Arlie, Dan and Ralph.
