The promises God made are all true.Dear Family, my deepest sympathy at the death of your loved one. You can however, take a measure of comfort in knowing that the God of tender mercy has promised a resurrection of the dead. In the Bible book of Revelation 21:4 He says. And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will morning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed awaya

I was so saddened to hear about Mr. Wallace. He was such a loving and caring person. His many conversations and staying on my daughter when she was in school and just his friendship meant so much to me. He will be deeply missed. Heaven has gained another Angel. Rest Well Mr. Wallace. Your legacy lives on! We are much better people to have known you. Praying for Thelma and the entire family. God bless you all. Love you.

My condolences to the family. Mr. Wallace was a great man. A man that stood by his words and lived by his words. Everything he did was from his heart. He will be missed. Langston University lost wonderful legend. I hate that students in near future will never get to meet a man who was about his students. Will continue to pray for his wonderful wife my Soror Thelma Wallace during this time. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Mr. Wallace believed in God and we believed in him.

I worked with Professor Jim Wallace at Langston University (HBCU) for over two decades on teams for instruction, computer assessment, and internships plus final graduate placement. I would say Wallace’s outstanding expertise was in placement of graduating students, many of whom were first generation college grads. To use the term “wizard expert” would not be an overstatement. Some of our prior LU associates who preceded Jim in death transition would look you straight in the eye and tell you their goal in heaven would still be HBCU. I see Professor Wallace in that group. Can you hear the host of heaven saying: “Well done good and faithful servant, come and take your rest?”

Our deepest condolences to Mrs. Wallace and entire family. We knew him as a mentor and friend. In the late 1970's when he was director at OIC, he mentored the Martin Luther King Center of Guthrie as we fought to see that a share of CETA funds went to minority youth and drop--outs in Logan County. Decades later he mentored our son and daughter who attend Langston University, and if he saw them out of step, would threaten to call us, though they were both young adults. Always guiding and giving back... May your family find comfort in knowing he walked tall in the spirit.

The promises God made are all true. May you find comfort and strength in God’s word that he will change tears of grief to tears of joy. Isaiah 25:8 says “He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. The reproach of the people he will take away from all the earth. Isaiah 26:19 This is a promise.

Dear Family, There is a scripture that always comforts me in grief. Isaiah 61:1-“he sent me to bind up the broken-hearted”. A binding is used for an open wound. Those bandages are a physical representation of something painful that has been endured. Grief and emotional pain is harder to see. Those wounds can cause more pain than anything physical. Though they are not visible they need the same care that any open wound or broken limb would need. I have no words that can heal your broken hearts, but Jehovah God has given us a promise that can help to soothe them. Acts 24:15-“And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” When you see your loved one again, I hope you can unwrap those bandages to find a heart that is happy and whole and healed.
