My husband and I met Billy for the first time in 2016 - a Lyles cousin on my mother's side. He was such a gracious host - and we cherished the stories he told us of his time growing up, and his time in the service, the sacrifices that were made for our freedom. His love of his country and family was always evident. He took us on a tour of the countryside and explained where my ancestors had lived, and where my great-great grandparents Richard H and Matilda (Clark) Lyles had lived, and where they were buried. Thank you Billy for sharing such precious memories with Jack and I. I only wished we had found you and Beth and the rest of the "Lyles cousins" from the Turkey area before my mother had passed. You will be missed. Prayers for peace and comfort for Beth.
