Dear Wheatley Family,

Our association with you during the years we lived in Palo Alto has enriched our lives and provided us with cherished memories. We feel privileged to have had the gracious influence of Mary Lois in our lives. Her legacy will impact us eternally.

I Had the privelage of working with Mary Lois in her Carmel home and I will always remember her sayings...such as, "tell me about it!" I have so much I could say but I will always remember her love for Frank Sinatra, Lillie's, her family, and her church! Thanks Mary for letting me be a little part in your life! Jack, thinking of you and your family.

Dear Liz, Scott and family,
I am thinking of you at your time of loss. Our paths didn't cross much since I was in the Sunnyvale 2nd Ward but I remember time spent at Camp Liahona with you. I was so impressed by you and thrilled that you married my cousin Scott. After reading the BYU Today article on your parents, I can see that it was due to your sweet Mom and Dad.

Jack,
Just wanted to let you know how much of an "example" of "true love" you were over the years to all who watched you care for Mary Lois. It was so "tender" to witness the two of you at church. Mary Lois had a strong testimony and we always appreciated the spirit she brought to our Sacrament meetings. Hugs to you Jack.. and thanks for both of your example of enduring to the end....

Dear Jack and the entire Wheatley family:
Words are far beyond inadequate to express our sorrow at the passing of Mary Lois. Her love of all things beautiful has influenced the world around her and she will be sorely missed by the huge number of people who's lives she has touched. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

Jack and Holly Zenger

Working at and being part of The Wheatley Institution as a research assistant for international affairs was one of the most blessed and amazing experiences of my undergraduate education. Jack & Mary Lois Wheatley have done more for Brigham Young University than perhaps any other single couple in the institution's history. My prayers and thoughts are with the entire Wheatley family at this time.

Dear President Wheatley, I am sad about sister Wheatley, she always made me feel welcome and when I played on the piano "As I have love you", she told me it was beautiful even though I made mistakes. She over looked my weaknesses and concentrated on what I could do. I will miss her.

On behalf of the Portugal Lisbon South Mission, 1990-1991, we send to President Wheatly and his family our love, and appreciation for all you did in Portugal.
Sincerely, Doug Holt, President

Dear President Wheatley and family, thinking of you at this time, prayers are with you all at this time, your love for those of us that served as missionaries in Colorado those many years ago is still a part of my life, "As I Have Loved You Love One Another" was how we served and is such a great example even after these many years
