To the Wallace Family,Having known Wally for many years as we worked together at St. Mary's Hospital is one of my life's treasures. She was a dear friend and a true picture of what a nurse should be. I am proud of being her friend. She was a beautiful Christian woman whom I loved and you are blessed to have have had her for your wife, Junior. In sympathy, Decatur, IL US
Elsie was my family's babysitter in the fifties. Even though I was quite young, I remember how sweet, loving and beautiful she was. My dad always spoke very highly of her long after she left. We were delighted to receive a sympathy card and note from her when he died in 09 and thrilled to see for the first time in over 50 years when she came to our mother's visitation in November. She was still beautiful even after her chemo treatments! I will cherish my memories of her always. Fondly,Marianne Schroeder Wigert Evergreen, CO US

Dear uncle Jr. We will all miss Aunt Tippy but we know her life and her beautiful smile and all of the memories we have live on in you. We can't be with you today, but we are there in spirit just as I know she will alway's be by your side until you see her again in that beautiful city of God. She will suffer no more and she goes to prepare a place that we all must go to someday. We love you and Aunt Tippy. We know she loved us too. She never let a family function go by without letting us know "don't forget to call Larry and Yolonda". She had such a big heart and such a good understanding of family. You have been blessed with such a beautiful partner in life, now she's up there making sure that when all of us are ready we can attend that big Family reunion on the other side. The lord gave her to us for 73 years, now he say's it's time for her to come home and be with him. May God bless you and may her spirit always shine down on you. We love you! BELOIT, WI US
Dear Wallace Family,I thank God for the blessing it has been to know Sister Tippy. I will always remember her sweet smile and gentle spirit that touched everyone she met. I rejoice now that she has gone home to be with our Heavenly father. Brother Wallace, may He give you comfort as you mourn and peace in knowing that you will be joined with her again at the ressurection. God Bless Springfield, IL US
To the Wallace family:I worked with "Wally" as we called her at St. Mary's for about 7 years and I have fond memories of her. She was a truly dedicated professional and was also a true friend. I am honored that I had the chance to work with and know her and I know the world has lost one of the best but there is comfort in knowing that heaven has gained. I know that if there are people in heaven that need a helping hand that "Wally" will be there. May she rest in eternal peace. Glenna SteilingSt. Mary's 1978 – 1986 Macon, IL US

We were blessed to meet sister Tippy when we began attending The Church of The Living God in Springfield. She always had a pleasant smile and personality. I admired the closeness of her and brother Jr. after so many years of marriage, you could see the love they had for one another. We will truly miss her and are glad to have known her here on earth. We will see you in the Rapture my sister. God bless you… Springfield, IL US
