It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

To Ruth and the rest of the Loftessness family.
Wes will forever be remembered in my heart as my POLKA Klub dancing buddy. I remember numerous times, I would get off the stage, from behind the drums and dance a polka with Wes. We danced at my wedding. I remember Ruth and Wes' 50th anniversary party at the Kickers, and we gave them a musical water globe of dancing cows. Wow, I have such great memories, and until we meet again Wes, keep dancing. We love and will miss you.

Our thoughts go out to the rest of the Loftesness family.

Wes, not only was it great knowing you as I grew up being part of the Kickers Club and through the accordion at YMA (where I played the accordion with Glen), but I always enjoyed dancing with you and hearing your funny comments during the Kickers Club meetings. You will be missed. Until we all meet again,

Ruthie - I am so sorry for your loss. I so enjoyed Wes at the polka dances. He was always game for a dance even though we only went around the floor once. He was a joy to talk to. I will miss him. I hope you continue to attend the polka dances as you are such a sweetheart and you both were delightful to be around. Love you - Joyce Bradbury
