To The Brents Family,
Where to start? Wesley was such a wonderful guy, he kept me in stitches always, but when it came to advice, he kept it REALLY real. I will always cherish and appreciate the love he showed my children, especially the mentorship he gave my son in church not only as a man of God, but as a trusted confidant. He was my buddy in the choir where we had so much fun, all it would take was one of his looks and we'd both crack up! And boy could he sing! I will miss his smile and wit, but I know he's resting peacefully in God's arms.
Our sincerest condolences and prayers to you all,
The Shannon-Madison Family
