Wesley Hood

Wes loved his family more than anything or anyone on the earth. He was so proud of his children and all that they accomplished. He had high, but realistic expectations given their abilities. Grandchildren? Oh yes! Wes looked forward to them. Rose, Wes cherished you and the life you built together. I have no doubt he would have chosen you over and over again.

Rose, I am so sorry for your loss. Even though we saw you and Wes infrequently, you have always been special to me. I have wonderful memories of working with Wes in the 1970´s at Rockingham County MHC and meeting you when you were expecting your firstborn. It was my first job in counseling & he was a mentor, encouraged me to get my Master´s plus we commuted together from Greensboro to work in order to save gasoline/money. I always heard about you and the kids, so Wes loved all of you dearly!...

Wes and I have been friends for many years, and he has been a very positive influence in my life. And also, in the lives of Darlene & I.

Wes was my supervisor at Rockingham County Children's Mental health Services for more than twenty years. We became fast friends over those work-years and were frequent lunch buddies after our retirements. Wes was always a willing listener and a reliable source of insight into the work we did together.

Of course we fulfilled our professional responsibilities, but sometimes it seemed we talked more about family than work. He often reminded me that to be a parent is to worry, but he was clear that he was proud of how...

I worked with Wes at the Rockingham Co. Mental Health Center many years ago. I will always remember his kindness and so appreciated his guidance at our weekly staff meetings. I learned so much from him and we have remained Facebook friends for many years.

Rose I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Wes, both of you have been good customers and friends for many years. Heavenly Father I pray that that you take Brother Wesley into your loving arms and pray that, when the time comes he will be joined by his wonderful wife Rose AMEN.

Rose! Thinking of you during your loss! My prayers are with you and your family. Although miles and years separated us, I held on to the wonderful memories. You always gave so much of yourself to help others and I have always appreciated. More than words can express. Dianne Rabon

Rose, So sorry to hear of your loss. David and Susie Jackson
