Mrs. Wallace's memory will live on in our hearts and minds, especially in my two oldest grandchildren who ate their tomatoes right off the vine. They'll never forget her or Mr. Wallace. Nor will my oldest son or I. We will see you again!
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of your loss; may God comfort you and give you peace.
Mrs. Lucille was a beautiful person inside and out. She lived a full and happy life. May God enfold you in his loving arms as you go through this Mrs. Wanda as well as all of your family. She is reunited with Mr. Lewis and Mr. Cockrill once again and I don't believe it will be long before we will join them, too. Love you so very much.
Dearest Wanda my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.That God will bless you and comfort at this difficult time is my fervent prayer.Your mom was such a sweet beautiful person.
Wanda and family,I have so many memories of Lucille from the time I was a little girl, even up until Mom died. She was my very favorite of all the old aunts. She was so much fun and whenever I saw her, she made me feel special. I think about Auntie, Rece, Louis and Mary Beth, Lucille and Lewis, and you Wanda, and Leland, Pat and Joe Dan, and sometimes I long to be a little girl again and enjoy all those great times. I hold them close in my heart, and I hold Lucille. I love ya'll,Dinah
Aunt Lucille, you were always a lot of fun , and I miss those days! You and my dad were very close when you were children! I know all the family had a big reunion when you stepped into heaven's gates! I love you!
Lucille was indeed a beautiful lady! She loved her family and her hometown and you always knew where you stood with her. She will be greatly missed. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. My our loving Father hold you in his loving arms and comfort you through the days ahead. Love to you all. Carol Griffis
She was one of a kind, and a pearl of great price. She will be remembered for a great many reasons, some with tears and some will laughter.Seemed brighter, somehow, when she was in the room. Love follows love.
Dearest Wanda my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.That God will bless you and comfort at this difficult time is my fervent prayer.Your mom was such a sweet beautiful person.
May family and friends of Mrs. Wallace have the peace of The Comforter (1 Corinthians 1:3) and the comfort of good memories of one especially strong (Psalm 90:10). Sorry for your loss
Wanda, I don't know how many hours Jesse and I sat in your parent's den listening to their stories. They were really like surrogate grandparents to him. (I accidentally wrote my oldest son before, but I meant my youngest Jesse.) We both had a special kinship with Lewis & Lucille Wallace. Thank you for sharing them with us!
Dear Mrs. Wanda, So sorry for the loss of your beautiful Mother! My grandparents, Claudia & Hess McNorton, thought so much of your sweet family as I carry those same sentiments! Knowing that you look to our loving LORD JESUS for strength and comfort we will lift you up in prayer. May GOD bless you and your family and give you HIS peace! Love,Claudia & Johnny McGill
