I Love you Wes. You were always so funny and sweet, and you could always put a smile on my face when i saw you. You made your friends so sad when you left bud.. all we can do is wish that you are happy now, up in heaven. Its weird not being able to see you in the hallway, or hear your voice.. I look through our text messages and tear up, i may even text you, hoping i'll get a reply.. But I know it wont happen. Rest In Peace, Fly High My Country Angel.

I can not begin to imagine the pain and heartache your family is feeling right now. I do however, know that God is the ultimate healer and that He can bring peace and understanding to your family and shelter you in His wings. While your son may be gone physically, he will never really leave you. When you are at your weakest or most lonesome moment, look deep within your heart and there you will find your sweet son, and the joy he brought you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You ALL. A parent in North Carolina.

I was one of Wesley' s former teachers from Studebaker Middle School. It was my first year of teaching so I did not have much in my classroom, and Wes took it upon himself to "donate" a Monopoly game so his classmates would have something to play. The game is still being used in my classroom at a different school and is one of the favorites. Wes brought joy and laughter to all. My prayers are with Wesley's family and friends.

West Paul remembered meeting you last year at the Family Reunion. As soon as I told him about the accident he said he had a nice time talking to you and your Dad. He said you were a nice young man. I didn't get the privilege of talking to you but I wish I had. For you to make such a good memory that he remembered you after just one short meeting you must have been very special. He will never forget you and we will keep Tina And Jeff in our prayers. We know you are in a better place but it doesn't help those that loved you to face this but we will try to be there for them.

Sheila Toner

It's hard to know just what to say,
When one so young is taken away.
Far too soon they had to part,
Their memory forever engraved in our heart.

We only knew them for a short while,
But the life they led made us smile.
Their were so beautiful and oh so rare,
Life as they say just isn't fair.

Those gone before them will watch them with care,
Till the day comes when we'll all join them there.

Know Daniel,Chaz,and Wesley is watching from heaven above,
And with each ray of sunshine, Their sending their love.

March 27, 2014

I didn't know Wesley, but my prayers are with you all.

I am so sorry for your lost. I only knew him briefly but you were all amazing people. He will be looking down on all of you.

Bonny Gladman

March 27, 2014

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away in the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no sorrow in your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Tina, keeping your family in our hearts & prayers.

The Bennett Family
