On December 30th, Lance's grandpa Wiley passed away after 94 great years on this earth. He lived a wonderful, Jesus-centered life and left behind quite a legacy. For the past 3 or so years he has suffered from dementia and lived in a nursing facility. Darlene, Lance's grandma, lived just across the street in a little apartment.
When Forrest was still coming to family functions and before the signs of dementia I remember when I was just starting to come around and meeting all the Wiley family. The thing I will always remember about grandpa Wiley was his huge, bright smile. He would give me a big hug and then just smile from ear to ear at me. At his memorial, so many people spoke of that huge smile that they would remember him by also.
Thankfully he will suffer no more from this disease and went "home" to be with Jesus. I hope he got to see my dad and that they get to see the wonderful legacy that they both have left behind.
