I just found out that Mr. Wallace has passed on. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. He was a wonderful man with an awesome and infectious smile. I prepared his tax returns for several years and really did enjoy our conversations every year. I will miss him. May God bless you all!

Don and Ann were one of the first to welcome us to the neighborhood more than 20 years ago. They were both such sweet people. I can still see him riding his bike in the neighborhood just last summer. And then Ann, feeding her cats catnip at the end of the driveway. We've been truly blessed to have such kind and caring neighbors. Don will truly be missed.
