I AM VERY SORRY FOR "OUR" LOSS AND WISH I COULD HAVE COME FOR THE FUNERAL.WE HAVE HAD 4 SNOWS IN THE LAST WEEK, AS RECENTLY AS YESTERDAY.
WALLACE WAS MORE LIKE A BROTHER TO ME THAN A FIRST COUSIN.
WALLACE WAS A VERY SPECIAL PERSON, HE REALLY LOVED EVERYONE AROUND HIM, AND WOULD HELP ANY WAY HE COULD. THINKING BACK, HE ALMOST NEVER SAID A BAD WORD ABOUT ANYONE.
HE LOVED TO HUNT AND FISH AND WE DID THAT A LOT.
TAKE SOLACE IN THE FACT WE LIVE IN A BETTER WORLD BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE WALLACE.

LOVE AND PRAYERS

AVON HOLLEY

PS IF IT WOULD MEAN ANYTHING TO THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TELL YOU OF SOME OF THE GREAT TIMES WE HAVE HAD.

I am saddened to hear of Wally's passing I worked with him at Dryden's and not only was he a good boss but a fine man. My Dad and Myself worked in the Masonic Lodge together and have many good memories. Our prayers are with you and your family. May God Bless.

Jess & Mary Lou, Bobbie, and All Kids and GrandKids.
Our family was so sorry to hear of your loss which is also our loss too. Wallace was a good man and Loved by many.
We all will miss him.
I am Clifton and Mattie Lou Holley's youngest daughter. My husband and I live in Carroll Springs now, and named our ranch "Holley Hills Ranch", to continue the Holley-Lambright legacy, however we lived, worked, and raised our family for 35 years in Beaumont, TX. before retiring here.
While living in there , I would call Wallace and talk to him, we would share alot of old times. I was young when I moved to Beaumont, and always found comfort thinking I had family just down the road in Nederland.
As a child growing up in Carroll Springs, every summer Aunt Rena, Wallace and Jessie Lee and their families, would come to the farm for a visit. We were happy to see them, and my Dad, Clifton would always send them back home with a trunk- full of fresh peas, tomatoes, potatoes and of course Watermeleons.
That is what families would do in those days, and Daddy would keep that in mind, planting a little extra to share with all the family when they came to visit. He was a Great Farmer.

I was able to remember some of these good times, with Wallace when he visited with us for the Holley-Lambright Family Reunion in 2006.
My husband, Jerry took Wallace for a long jeep ride during the reunion, and remembered with him many old familiar places on the land, and was able to show him that, Glenn, Bonnie and I all have homes,and continue to live on the Clifton & Mattie Lou Holley's old farm place. Come to see us..
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Jerry, Carolyn, Kevin and Kelly Knepple and Our Grandkids

Come to see us! We love you guys. Glenn sends his sympathy as well. Bobbie take care of your self.Prayers to all of you.

A good person loved by many.My prayers will be with the family at this time and the coming days.There are so many good memories with Foy Wallace, always ready with a hug and a smile. He was a big part of my life growing up, it was like a celebration when his family came to grandma Leona's.May God bring you comfort in this time of sorrow.My parents,J.D. and Daisy send their condolences also.

I will remember Wallace as a good man, a Mason and someone who loved to hunt and the outdoors.

I also remember him as a man who didn't mind pulling his belt off when Keith and I got out of line, which was quite often.

He almost blew a fuse when they discovered Keith, Kenney, Kay and I in his bedroom closet with a lit candle on top of a shoebox being kids and trying to have a seance. Its a wonder we didn't burn the house down. None of us could sit down for a while after that one.

Rest In Peace Wallace

KayKay, Kristin and family - I am so sorry for the passing of your Dad and Grandad. I know there will be a giant void in all of your lives. I have learned through the years that God can fill any voids we have regardless of how large or small. Know that I care very much for the Wilbanks family. You hold a special place in my heart. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. DeeDee
