Dear Michele
I am so sorry that you lost your dad. My dear dad died when I was six years old and the void of that loss continues today. Having never met your dad, I hope that the memories of his life will continue to beat on in you. The Peace of the Lord be with you and your family and please know that I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

I write this to say no more pain. You are in heaven with all the angels from the Grange, square dance team(oh what fun we had there) My memories of us growing up together will never be forgotten, (like the time ma & pa was at work and I locked you out of the house because you made me mad!) You taught me a lot and the rides in the sharp looking cars you had and the most the DRUMS! The memory of the the band making music in Ma & PA's basement "The Velvet Touch" has lost a great person. You may of been my Uncle BUT you where like my brother since you where with me all my life!!! My prayers are with our loved ones as we carry on here on earth! You are smiling upon us as you all made us laugh most of the time!! RIP Uncle Wes!

Wes, I will always remember growing up coming up and seeing the band The Black Velvet play. To this day when I hear the song Wipeout I think of you. Now Heaven has a great drummer and angel up there. They say Heaven is what makes you happy so I know you are driving the mustang and playing the drums.

Uncle Wes,
You are now no longer suffering from the health problems that were causing you so much pain. You are now free to play those drums anytime you want from what i hear from mom as you used to do ALL the time. She said that you taught her how to hold her drumsticks and play the drums as well. You are also able to drive the Mustang anytime you would like. Because from what i hear from the rest of the family you loved to do that before your Mustang went to Heaven. However, the most memories i have is from at Ma and Pa's picking cherries and swimming with you and the girls. You sure were raised by two great people to be the person you were and will be remembered as.
Love,
~Jessica, Bruce, and Abbagail
