Not sure what to say?

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

I know Wes is up with you now

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

His influence on my life has been everlasting as he taught me how to persevere the struggles and just flat out work hard. I am glad I had the opportunity to know him in his lifetime.

you are sure missed

Sarge,
You were a great coach and mentor to many.
My heart and prayers go out to your family.
God bless you.
