Teresa, Craig, and family, we were saddened to hear of the loss of your dear Mother. She was a joy to visit with. My daughter Laura and her husband Jim have good memories of her kindness and thoughtfulness. We were unable to attend the funeral, as my husband and I were on our way home from a week’s stay at Barnes, St Louis. May God comfort you.

Dear Teresa and family. I’m deeply sorry to hear about the passing of your sweet mother. She was a delightful lady and always had a smile for everyone. Her laughter was infectious and she had such a witty humor. May you and your family be wrapped in the comforting arms of Jesus during this time of sorrow.

So sorry for your loss. Mrs. Wallace was my 3rd grade teacher a long time ago. I was just thinking of her last week when I was visiting my Dad.

To the family of Bonnie June Wallace. She was such a great teacher to my three kids and to so many others as well. My kids learned so much in her classroom. Bonnie made the kids mind and to show respect to her and others, what she said she meant and all the kids knew it. she taught them many things that would benefit them in life. She definitely was one of the best teachers that has ever taught at Dora school. Thank you Bonnie June Wallace for staying at your hometown school all those years. Prayers for all the family.
