Sheridan, AR Monday, January 4, 2016 I always enjoyed visiting with Gracie. She was so sweet. She and Cooter would come and visit my Grandfather J. D. Wyles, who was Cooter's uncle. We seemed so much closer related than that.I remember my mother, Annie having pictures of Gracie and her oldest son from back in the 50's. All the relatives are gone now. I am the only one left in my family and I have only one first cousin here now and Uncle Will's family is just 3 cousins here. So the Wyles family is about gone.
I wish the family God's comfort.
In Christian Love,
Mary Ann Camp Nichols, d/o Annie Wyles Camp, d/o James "Jim" David Wyles from Grapevine AR

Warren, AR Saturday, January 2, 2016 I became attached to Ms. Gracie while she was a resident at The Woods. She always referred to me as Mary no matter how many times I told her my name. I finally accepted that name when she and I talked. I looked forward to seeing her whenever I visited my mom, and she would always be glad to see me as well. If she missed me, she would always tell me that. She would from time to time tell me she loved me. The feeling was mutual. I will miss her dearly. I am grateful that our paths did cross. She brought joy to me so many times when i needed it. May God bless you all during this time.Wonda Chestnut
