wes i miss you more and more. since you left this crazy world. things in my life have shifted
into high gear. for the first time in my life i had a panic attack
after catching some viral
stomach infection. It was so bad the doctors even gave me nausea pills that they normally give to chemo patients. i screamed and screamed and was not strong enough to handle the pain. my husband tried to control my breathing but it was you that i kept thinking about. a small portion i'm sure but i wanted to feel it! i wanted it to hurt. i thought maybe i could see you for a few minutes you know to make sure you were ok. it's day 5 and i have eaten some oatmeal. im having a hard time moving around but that come soon enough. i love you so much wes!! you were and always will be my best friend in the whole world. love you babe.

NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS WHAT I'M FEELING EXCEPT TO SAY A FATHER COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF A SON. THE WAY YOU FACED WHAT YOU DID WAS THAT OF A TRUE WARRIOR. NEVER COMPLAINED AND ALWAYS HAD A SMILE FOR EVERYONE. I KNOW THAT OUR TIME HERE IS SHORT, BUT I WAS NOT READY YET TO LOSE YOU. NO DAD COULD EVER HAVE LOVED A SON MORE. I WLL MISS YOU EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY.YOU IN MANY WAYS MADE MY LIVING WORTH WHILE. SO LONG UNTIL WE MEET ON THAT CLESTAL SHORE. FOREVER IN MY HEART DAD

Well Wes, Its the Monday after we said our goodbyes and its seems like your still here. I continually think about when you where a child with you blond curly hair and fantastic smile. I never knew I would miss you so being your big sisiter I assumed to be the first to go. I will love you forever and long to see you again someday until thin I will cherish the memories then you wont seem so far away. The days are long and the nights even longer without you here, but again if find peace beacuse I know you are near. Your watching over your Niece Haylee whom you loved so and thru the years you will watch her grow. I can see by her personality now she will be sweet like you and most likely be athletic too. I will miss you my dear sweet brother, you will forever be with me in my heart and soul its just so trajic that you had to go. My love to you always your big sis Tiff.

Wes ...
you had became a really good friend of mine growing up. certainly we had ourselves some times. and although it's been a long time since those days. i find myself thinking back and wishing we had just a few more of those carefree days in front of us. but we wont, and now memories will have to do. with you onto another chapter ... happy .. at peace, and serving out a much greater purpose. by now i'm sure you're somewhere laughing and smiling ... leaving people like myself left here to think back and recall what a truly unique, funny, intelligent individual you were ... God Bless ... and may peace find you well.
take care old friend.

Dearest Wes,

You will always live on and be remembered by those lives lucky enough to have been touched by you. You were very brave these past 3 years and put up an admirable fight, no question about it. We are all here for a very short time, some shorter than others. While the bible teaches us not to question "why" , the one thing we can find strength in through our faith in God's words is knowing we have eternity ahead of us and that we will all be reunited once again. After talking to your sister yesterday, I have no doubt you're playing endless games of golf on the most glorious of greens any of us can imagine, smiling and keeping watch on those you loved most. Let them feel your presence and find peace with your departure and know that you're safely wrapped in God's love. We'll be seeing you again Wes.
