So sorry to hear of Wyeth’s passing. I know he is rejoicing in Heaven with Pauline and all his cousins. I remember as a child going to your house and what fun we had. I also remember the many church services I attended with my family to hear Wyeth preach. Such a good man of the Lord! He will be missed! Love.

Mr. Wallis was always ready with a kind word and smile. I certainly enjoyed the times we were able to visit about mutual friends we shared from Searcy County.
He will be missed. To his family I extend my deepest sympathies.

So sorry for your loss. He and Daddy made quite a pair in the nursing home. I will never forget them two headed down the hallway with daddy pushes Mr. Wallis in his wheelchair. I'm surprised they got as far as they did. They you for being so nice to daddy. Mr. Wallis loved to be outside. May God wrap you in his arms due this difficult time and give you strength in the days in come.

I am so sorry and saddened by Wyeth's passing. My prayers and thoughts are with you all at this time. I remember my sadness when my mama died but I knew she went to a better place and Wyeth did too. I went to church where he pastored and listened to him preach for many years. That's a time in my life I will never forget. I think he was a wonderful person.

So happy to have known him as Uncle, preacher and teacher, neighbor, brother in Christ! Have been missing his messages for several years now. Granny Sue would always be tickled when talking about him "preaching" as a kid-to kids and animals alike. A great man so knowledgeable in the Bible, a resource to family and friends will be so missed. So many memories of him preaching, on fire for the Lord! Love all of you, thinking and praying for you all.
