I was 8 years old and I remember when my great grandpa would stir my ice-cream. He was the best at it.(Hannah Stein)

To all of Mr. Wiley's Family;
My prayers and thoughts are with you in your time of need. I knew Mary Lee when I attended Ghent Christian Church. I was so sorry to hear the news. I remember Mr. Wiley from church. He was a very gentle man. Please know I will be praying for all of you doing this time.

Wow, Uncle Ken was a huge part of my growing up years.
I am praying for the family to be comforted by the Lord's mighty hand. I know how difficult it is even when someone lives a long and loving life.
We will see him again and he's probably sitting under a tree talking to my mom and dad, Bill and Dot Campbell.
With love,
Janie Lindsay (Campbell)

To all of Mr. Willeys Family,
My prayers are with you and your family. I was so sad when I heard the news. I have known Jenny, his grandaughter and the whole family for a very long time and have very fond childhood memories of Mr. Willey. He was such a wonderful kind person, the kind of Father/Grandpa every child should have. God Bless you all in this difficult time.

To Mary Lee, Neal and Melinda,
We are so sad to hear of Uncle Ken's passing. I will always remember him as a tall, pipe-smoking, gentle man with a wry sense of humor. Working with him at the Mill one summer many years ago is an especially fond memory. He was a father that one could certainly be proud of. We loved him dearly.

Dear Mary Lee,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. King Ken's star of good works, good will and love will always shine brightly in all the lives he has touched. A life well lived and I thank God for the years he shared him on earth. I know he has been welcomed by the Heavenly Throng and now we must March forward brave and strong. He would expect no less.
Love you Sis,
