Ethel, am so sorry to hear of your loss. Wesley was a wonderful person and a wonderful husband to you. I know you will miss him. I know how it is from my experience. We are only put on this earth for a short time waiting to go to our eternal resting place. May God bless you in your time of need.

Wesley was a man of great character and wonderful personality. He was a lot of fun, and I will miss him. I think of him as he was before his health problems began, and I will always remember him that way. So many people come and go in your life, and you don't think much about it; but some others go and you will always remember THEM and think of them from time to time when something reminds you of them- Wesley was one of those people to me. He was always good to be around- he definitely will be missed!

May the Lord watch over you and continue to bless you and comfort you as the days ahead proceed. May our prayers for you offer some comfort in the days and hours ahead.
