Iley was our beloved Brother-in-Law. Sister Kathy and I spent many happy times with him and Sister Ferne when we were little. They took us to New Orleans to see the beautiful houses decorated for Christmas/Carnival Season. For 2 little country girls it was like a fairyland. He was very kind to us and our Mama and Daddy. He will be missed but we are comfortable that he is happy with his loved ones who have gone on before him.
