Guest Book
We offer our deepest condolences to the Jiles Family. Deacon Wilford Jiles was the dad of my dear friend Angela. I know he will be greatly missed. Although I did not personally know him, I did watch the service and read the Obit and I know he was a great Man, very giving, very humble and a Blessing to all those who crossed his path. May God continue to keep the family wrapped in His Everlasting Arms and may they find comfort in his life and legacy. Amen. Jennifer (and Allen) Smith, New Jersey
