IWe are very saddened to learn of Revrend Wallace's passing. I know it has been a few years but I just found out. Reverend Wallace presided over our wedding in 1998. When my wife and I decided to marry, I insisted on Rev Wallace. I first met him as a young boy being friends with Jamie. Sweet Hollow Church hosted our scout troop and I have so many fond memories from that time. As I was contemplating my life and thinking back, I know it was God that led me here. Please accept our deepest condolenses and know that Rev Wallace will always be in my heart. David and Dorothea Kelly

Linda and I are so saddened at the loss of your Dad. We remember him so well and the many happy occasions at Sweet Hollow. Our last meeting with him was at his home in Deer Park while your mother was hospitalized and while recovering he had his usual fine humor and optimistic outlook on life. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Linda, your Mom Judy, Robbie, Jamie and their families. May he Rest In Peace. Love LINDA and Bob Earthy

To The Wallace Family: Our deepest sympathy on the passing of Reverend Wallace. We have many fond family memories of Reverend Wallace. He was the minister at our 1984 wedding at Sweet Hollow and baptized our two daughters, Meghan and Kirstin in the Church. We remember Reverend Wallace as man of deep and abiding Faith. We once attended a Good Friday Tenebrae service that was sparsely attended (maybe about 6 or 8 people at most). After the service Reverend Wallace thanked us for coming and told us that even if he was alone, he would have celebrated the service to remember the crucifixion of Our Lord and Savior. One of the cute memories we have was during a Sunday service during a warm Spring morning. The Ladybugs must have come into season because Reverend Wallace's robe and stole were covered in newly hatched Ladybugs. Ever the gentle man, Reverend Wallace carried on with the service being assisted by a host of God's Creatures. May God's love and the cherished memories of Reverend Wallace help you during this most difficult time. With our deepest sympathy, Joyce, Ed, Meghan and Kirstin Makela
