Thank you for all your kindness, both on the
phone and when I was in Sussex. I learned a lot from you and
can't tell you how much I appreciate you encouraging me to
bring mom
home myself. It was the right thing to do and I am glad I did
it. Thank you also for the patience
in helping me through the process, arranging for the flowers,
the minister and everything else, including you concern that I
get back to Vermont safely.
What a difference in the experience had
with you compared with what I had here. The care you showed me
is rare these days and it was wonderful.

Words really could never express how much all of you have
helped our family. You all are very special angels. Thank you ,
the care and attention that we received from Carol and Sarah
was unbelievable. They went above and beyond the call of duty
for us. I just wanted to send you an email to let you know how
special those two women are. They have helped our family so much
and I feel so good knowing that they are there for families like
ours. My mothers funeral was at Wallace’s and nothing has
changed. You should be very proud of those special women and I
thank you all from the bottom of my heart for everything that
you all have done. You all are very special angels and I thank
God for you. In your line of work it must be very difficult at
times but I know that you all must love what you
do because everything was taken care of with such poise and
grace, thank you all again.

I hardly know
where to begin to thank you for all of your guidance during the
recent loss of my dad. You are truly an amazing human being,
both professionally and personally. You made losing a loved one
and the mourning process, a "celebration" and not a morbid
ritual. Your kindness and understanding goes above and beyond
the call of duty in my opinion. You have no idea how i felt when
I saw the rose lying beside Dad in his casket, the playing of
Bette Middler's "The Rose" at the family prayers and of course,
you handing us each a rose at the end of the church service - so
special. You listened to my needs and helped me to fulfill my
Dad's wishes....and you did it with your own judgment. It meant
and still means so much to me. I have dried the rose from the
church and will cherish it with other keepsakes.
We were so
pleased with all the arrangements that were made and how
professionally they were carried out. Many people have commented
on how organized, respectable and personal that the visiting and
funeral service were. A great decision to have the slideshow, as
everyone enjoyed it so much. I gave you and Sarah all the credit
for everything. Dad always spoke highly of you and he would have
been so proud of the way that all was handled. He would have
especially been thrilled with how handsome you made him look.
You were also so kind and considerate to mom and included her in
all the decisions even though you knew how fragile she is
herself. That made her very happy and she thinks the world of
you too.
In closing, I
truly want to thank you for your professionalism, you compassion
and last but certainly not least your tremendous sense of humor
despite the situation. You are certainly suited for you
occupation and make this life experience much easier for those
that are left behind.
God Bless

Thank you so much
for everything but most of all your patience with me. I've never
had to do before. So my knowledge was nil, you all made it so
much easier for me. |

Steve, to you and your staff, and
everyone that has had the privilege to be part of this caring
group.
.Wallace Funeral Home cares for
everyone, not just a SELECT group. Thank you for caring. THE
CELEBRATION, THE GARDEN, THE CHAIR, and THE ANGELS. Just a
great reason to respect, enjoy, and have a great life. Without
others, who the heck are we.
All the best

Notice
for Wallace Funeral Home’s 115th evoked many memories
Published Tuesday October 7th, 2008
Edition of Kings County Record
To the editor,
I read with particular personal
interest of the 115th anniversary notice of the Wallace Funeral
Home in the September 23 issue.
Fenwick W. Wallace, my
great-grandfather, started the Wallace Funeral Home on Maple
Avenue in Sussex in 1893 in the same year and location his
daughter, my grandmother, Mildred Markham Wallace, was born. My
father, Wallace West, was also born on Maple Avenue in Sussex.
The anniversary notice describes how a man's suit cost $8 at
that time, but I remember my great-Grand father's account of how
he obtained his first suit in Ward's Creek. He described how the
raw wool was prepared, spun, woven, then cut and sewn to become
his first two piece suit when he was a young man some years
earlier.
We send congratulations to the Wallace
Funeral Home on its anniversary and the continued success of a
well established business with a rich Sussex history.
