I WILL ALWAYS TREASURE THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES FROM TIME SPENT AT MS. WALLACE'S HOME. I ESPECIALLY REMEMBER ONE EASTER WHEN WE WERE INVITED OVER. MS. WALLACE WAS IN THE KITCHEN, BUSY AS USUAL. I CAN STILL TASTE THAT HAM, THE CAKES, AND THOSE LIGHT ROLLS!! I ALSO REMEMBER THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP SHE HAD WITH MY GRANDMOTHER AND HOW MUCH THEY USED TO LAUGH AND REMINISCE ON THE PHONE WHILE I WOULD SIT AND LISTEN. ON BEHALF OF MY MOTHER, PHYLLIS WHITE AND THE WHITE FAMILY, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHIES TO THE WALLACE FAMILY. WE LOVE YOU AND ARE HERE FOR YOU IN YOUR TIME OF NEED.
