We offer our condolences to Jane & Bill’s family. Jane always looked beautiful at church wearing a stylish hat. And we often worked together at the Knights or Lions were she was always willing to share some stories of the adventures of her and Bill’s life.
We are blessed to have known them both and we miss them.

My sincere condolences to the Wallace family. Your parents were very dear to me. Bill Invited me to join the Plymouth
Lions Club which lead to me being President for a couple of years. Jane always made the best dessert when we met at their home.
I felt we were very good friends.
Jane has given me her father’s
Lions Club items. I would like one of her children to phone me if they would like them for memories. I am no longer a Lion and live in Culver. God Bless your family.
