Wesley Michael Poplin

I didn't have the immense pleasure of knowing Wesley for much of his life. I met him earlier this year when he and my husband became best friends, practically overnight. He treated us like family. The only thing he wanted from us was our friendship. Friends like that are far and few between. We were lucky to have known him. If I could speak to him now, I would thank him for being such a strong positive influence in our lives. Lord knows we weren't prepared for tragedy to take him from us so...

Bea, we are so sad to hear about Wes. We will keep you and the family in our prayers.

It was during Wes' time in Charleston, that I came to know him. He was a dental patient of ours. One time we were planning a trip to Russia. I was blown away by his knowledge and interest in all things Russian, and he taught me a great deal in a short period of time. I wish we could have taken him along with us! I can't think of that trip without thinking of Wes. Please know how much we share your sadness, and we pray for God's strength to sustain you in the days and years ahead.

Bea and Betsy,
There are no words to express how I feel. I never saw him but he gave me a smile and a hug. God Bless all of you.

Offering our deepest sympathies during this time.

Bea, I am so sorry to hear about Wes. My prayers to you and your family.

Dearest Bea and Liz-I hurt for and with you. I wish I could be there with you. May God comfort you during this difficult time.

Mike, my deepest condolences on the loss of your son. Please know prayers will be said for love and support during this very sad and difficult time.

Such fond memories of Wes and his infectious grin. I love you all.
