We wish to send our sympathy to you Barbara and your family. I think of "faithfulness" when I think of Forest and also as the write up said his love for the wonderful job the Gideon's do. I think that was the last time we saw him at a Gideon's Sun at our church. We are so glad for his steadfast testimony thorugh the years and his ready smile and love for the Lord.

Dear Barbara and Rhonda,
I was so sorry to hear of
Forrests passing. I didn't know until it was too late to attend visitation. Heaven is surely an even better place now. I was so glad I got to talk to him not too long ago. We talked about his love of geneology research and how much he enjoyed meeting people and finding who was related to whom!!. I know time will help heal and I want you to know I'm here to help you anyway I can. I'll pay a visit when you have had time to rest. Just remember this: Death doesn't mean darkness, It means the dawn has finally come. May God rest his soul and Give you and Rhonda peace. Love connie lunsford

Forrest will be sorely missed! Really had gotten to know him over the past few years at Dr.Harris' office. LOVED exchanging stories with him and hearing about his life (very interesting). He and Barbara are two special people that I am blessed to know and proud to take care of! My deepest sympathies!

Mrs. Wallace, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Wallace. I can remember back to having you in 1st grade. I lost a tooth one day and he brought in popsicles. We always enjoyed his visits to your classroom. If you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to call me (304-690-2492). I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Love You.

I came to know Forrest and Barbara Wallace while being a caregiver for very close friends, Glen and Maxine Sullivan. Maxine and Glen truly loved them. The friendship meant much to Maxine even up to her passing. It was a joy to accompany them on thier visits to see the Wallace's and for the Wallace's visits to see the Sulivans. The christian fellowship was a blessing. Forrest surely will be missed by everyone who knew him and my prayers are with the family in this time of grief. Forrest is walking in heaven with the Lord our GOD.
