I just read the Wiles' love story in the Log Cabin. How blessed you are to have celebrated your parents leaving this earth together. They were truly flesh of flesh and bone of bone, they were one, as God intended. I'm certain that when one weeped the other tasted salt. May your hearts be filled with the Joy of the Lord during this season of life.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of these two wonderful people. When we served at Rose City Immanuel, they and their children were some of our closest friends. Debbie and I are praying for your family during your time of loss. We thank God for His promises of Heaven which comfort us
Beverly,
I read the article about your parents and their passing.
Just wanted you to know, I am very sorry for your loss, but what a wonderful legacy they left for you and your siblings.
May you find peace and comfort in them being together once again. God bless you and your family.
Oh my goodness.
These are two of my (Lance Kershner's, Ron Mitchell's, too) favorite people.
The picture/article in the Log Cabin Democrat-just precious.
I cried, then smiled...remembering these wonderful people.
Love,
Ms. Esther

I am so sorry for your loss. Your parents are wonderful, Christian people. We will be praying for your family. Deb Caudle
I am truly blessed to have been able to have this sweet couple for an aunt and uncle. I have many memories of them doing selfless acts for others. I am so happy to know I will see them again in Heaven.
Our deepest sympathies, Stephen and Deanna, with prayers for peace and comfort. Old Antioch friends.
Bev, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We love you and are here for you. Donna, Samara and Alana.
Seems like they were always together in everything and have even taken their flight to Heaven to meet the Lord as a couple. I always admired their sweet and kind ways. Lives well-lived.
Beverly, you and your family are in my prayers.
Beverly,Donna & Steve. I was so shocked when mother called me Sunday. Your mom and dad were such people. We had some good times growing together. Your mothers handwriting was always so pretty. My thoughts and prayers are with all you.
So sorry for your loss, Beverly and family. Folks here at the Tech Library are thinking of you today and the rest of the week.

Our deepest sympathy and thoughts are with you Beverly and your family at this time. Peace be with you all. Sherry and Vince Tinerella
Such a shock to lose them both together but I cannot imagine one without the other. I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure Jim greeted them at the gates of heaven.
The two sweetest people that God ever created are gone on to be with Him. I must admit that I am a little selfish because I wanted to keep them here because of what they meant to Joyce and me. They were always such an encouragement to us. They will be missed until we see them again.
Love,
Mike & Joyce O'Neal
Our prayers go out to your families!
With Deepest Sympathy!

Prayers for your family during their loss but comfort knowing those two are with Jesus!
Beverly, Donna, Steve and families,
What a wonderful pair of God's children! They were just like family to my family and especially to me. We couldn't have grown up around anyone more special than Mr. & Mrs. Wiles whenever we were kids if we had of chosen them ourselves. So many good memories we all have shared together, but none more than the ones we will share with them one day in Heaven! Until then, we will comfort one another and remember all the good times and good love we had with these two special neighbors.
What loving and beautiful people! I remember them watching my me grow up at Needs Creek. Praying for the family.
You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May God's peace surround you and you all be comforted with precious memories of Mr. Ancil and Mrs. Betty and know they are in each others loving arms and with Jesus. Love to you all
We are so very sorry for your great loss. May GOD fill you with His strength and wonderful memories to heal your hearts.
What a precious christian couple we have lost from our church family. So glad that I know they are pain free and with the Lord. We will miss them . Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
I'm so sorry about your loss. We became good friends when they were at Needs Creek Church. I will always consider them friends. You will be in my prayers.
