Joyce Elaine Wallace Gilbreath
Comments
from our Classmates:
1.
To
the Palo Duro High School Hall of Fame Committee: Joyce Wallace always seemed to
have everything going for her! She was very pretty, very popular, very
energetic, very smart and to my memory, always seemed very happy. She was a
vivacious young lady. That's why it has thrilled me to discover over the years
that such a gifted woman decided to avoid the shallow pursuit of the trivial
facets of popular culture, choosing instead a vocation which serves the least
among us in this world, the marginalized, the hungry, the overlooked. How
wonderful to know that her considerable gifts and talents have been consistently
given away through her work to people who can only dream about such blessings.
As befits the wisdom of the faith Joyce professes with her words, her actions
confirm that she has been blessed in life SO THAT she may be a blessing to
others. I am so proud that she is a friend and classmate and I hope the
committee would claim that same pride for Palo Duro High School by installing
Joyce Wallace into the Hall of Fame.

I
want to include my sincere recommendation for Joyce Wallace to represent our
Class of 1966 in the Palo Duro Hall of Fame. She has obviously led an exemplary
life of unselfish giving and unfailing love for her fellow human beings. I only
wish I had devoted even a fraction of the time and energy that she has to helping
those people who are not just less fortunate than us, but desperately in need.
The world is a much better place with Joyce Wallace in it. Andy
