It was an honor to attend the home going service of Mrs Wiley, and a privilege to see such a great person. Though I never met her, I know she was a great women through the friendship I have with her son Glen. Because it was the lessons she thought him, that he gave to me in my time of need, that made me a better man.

Mrs. Wiley took me under her wing when I joined the Crusaders Center and in our conversations I found out she knew my mother before I was born. She had a smile all the time and will be truly missed. My heart aches for the Wiley family, they truly lost a treasure as we all did.
