Gladys, I was saddened to hear of Wiley's passing when Frankie called me. Gary and I were close to him and his siblings growing up. I understand that our mothers were in the hostppital together when we were born, him on the 9th and me on the 12th. I'm sorry I could not have lived in the Waxhaw area in my later life to have known all of you better. Wiley was a good man. I will always have memories of the good times we had growing up. May God give comfort to you and your family at this time.
