To Ann & all of Wes's family. Ann I never met you but Wes was a very dear friend for so many years, although so many years passed since I had seen him. I am just finding out about Wes's passing and it grieves my heart as well as I know it does you and all of his family. I pray that God surrounds you in His Grace and Wisdom, that He holds each of you in His loving arms so that you may feel His Strength and Encourgement. No matter what this world or life may put in front of us, there will always be a freedom and joy in the knowledge that He is in complete control of each of our lives and His plan will forever be far superior to anything we could ever dream up. God Bless you and your family in this time and always. Wes was always special and he always watched out for me.

To all of the Holloman family
I met Wesley many years ago. At one time Wes spent many hours around my house. He was a gentle giant. I loved Wesley dearly. He was one of the kindest people I have ever known and the best friend anyone could want. He brought lots of laughter and life to my home and my family. He loved kids like they were all his. Being left handed too, Wes taught me to shoot pool. Wes gave me the nick name that still sticks with me today (20 years later). My heart is heavy over his passing and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I am so terribly sorry for your loss.

Ann,
My sincerest condolences goes out to you in this very difficult time. I never got the chance to personally meet Wesley, but I know that he must have been a great man to have such a loving and devoted wife as you . I know that he fought a courageous fight with you by his side every step of the way encouraging and supporting him. Let the memories of the good times you two shared keep you going because those memories will keep him alive in your heart and a smile on your face . I will keep you in my prayers and please do not hesitate to call on me for anything you may need.

I know there are no words to really comfort you, but God promise that one day we will all be together and I truly believe this, Wesley was and still is a good man and he was blest in that he knew true love with you, I too lost someone that meant the world to me this past year and so I know that pain all to well and I am here if you need to talk about it or just be with someone.
Pray to God and he will listen and he will guide you,
To Wesley you always had a smile on your face and a kind word on your tongue,even though you were going through your own battle's you still took the time to visit my dad durning his illness and for this I am forever gratful! you will be missed by us all!
God Speed Wesley see you on the other side!
Much Love

Dear Ann & family,
Ann, My son (Mathew Dallmeyer) and myself (Brenda) are so sorry for your loss. I met you shopping in Winn-Dixie soon after you were married. I know you did wonders for Wes, as everyone could tell by his disposition. Wes was not one to beat around the bush. He was a great guy and a good friend when you needed him. Everyone who knew Wesley will miss him terribly. May god bless and keep you and your family in his loving arms.

Dearest Ann,
My heart is with you during this very difficult time. It has been an honor getting to know you, even though the time has been so short. But as we go forward this is only the beginning of a long and blessed family friendship. You have demonstrated to me what love and devotion is between a man and a woman united in Christ Jesus. Also, you showed me the resilence of what the Lord can do to sustain us through the storms of life and you still praise HIM in these storms. I know you have the wonderful promise that you will see Wesley soon and spend eternity with your brother in Christ. May the LORD strenthen and fortify you all the days of your life.
Your sister-in-law and sister-in-Christ Jesus,
Linda Holloman

Anne, I know how you are feeling and my heart reaches out to you in this very sad time. I have known Wesley all my life and we went to school together as well. He was a very generous and kind hearted man! He will be missed by so many and I will never forget the sweet times he sat on the porch with my Dad before his passing three months ago, In his own agony he brought smiles to my Dad and I will be forever grateful :) I know he is now in a better place with God and his family....Weep not for he is free, Smile knowing how much he loves you, Live for him as he would have wanted for you. I am here for you anytime...
Much love,
Kathy and Gray family
