I remember Wallace as a class mate at South Giard High School,he was always a friendly person. He will be missed.

I remember Wallace from our days together from Mother Mary Mission elementary school through our days at South Girard. Wallace was always an easygoing, friendly person. Even after we had graduated he was still the same old Wallace. May God give the family strength during their time of bereavement. "Weeping May endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning" Psalms 30: 5b.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
