This entry is written for Wil Bryce. Wil and Wesley were friends for many years. They have been through thick and thin together. Although at times they probably could have killed each other they still always found a way to make each other laugh! Wil was away in Iraq serving for or country when the incident occured. He wishes he could have been here, but knows that Wesley would have been right there with if he could have! Wil loves you like a brother Wes! Don't ever forget that! Wil's thoughts and prayers go out to the family. May God be with you!

Wes, I can't begin to describe the pain I felt when I heard about what happened. You were my brother. You always gave me advice when I needed it. You were always there for me no matter what it was. We all miss you a lot. I still see you in all the things I do and sometimes when I say things it reminds me of you because that's exactly how you said them. I'm glad I got the chance to grow up with you at Nanny's and Papa's. I will never forget all the crazy and funny things we did. Oh, and when I didn't go to school for a week because you were stuck at MUSC and I wasn't leaving until you left with me. I always wanted to be there with you in your time of pain. I miss you so much, Wesley. I want to know that I love you and miss you and so does Katie! You will always be in my heart. I love you to death. Can't wait to see you again! Love you brother!

Wesley, Little Brother, I can't face the fact that you are gone. I see your pictures in Adrian's room.
I hear your voice on mom and dad's answering machine. And, I wonder when you'll call again to ask how the baby's doing. We had some great years. You were my first baby to take care of. We all miss you. I love you. Sissy

Wesley,
We'll always love and miss you. You were the child we couldn't have so God sent you to us to keep for a while, and we thank him for that. Our hearts are broken and we're so sad that he took you from us so soon. With God's love we'll make it through and see you again some day. We love you so much.
" Mom and Dad"

To Pearl and Brittany and the rest of the family. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I didn't hear in time to go to the visitation and couldn't attend the funeral due to other obligations, but wanted to let you know my thoughts and prayers were with you that day and now. In times like these, put your faith and trust in God and he will see you through. Take care.

To The Family of Aaron,
I am sorry......I had not heard about his passing untill today. It breaks my heart dearly to hear this. Aaron was my papa's grandson. His Daddy, (Aaron Anderson Sr.) was my papa's son. I wish that I could have found out were lil' Aaron was living, because my pop's loved him so much. He passed away in 1999.....he loved Aaron so much but didn't know how to locate him.....and for that I am sorry. I have one picture of Lil' Aaron when his was a baby, it also has his mom and dad in it........He is w/his dad and granddad now and in a much better place. With all my love and prayers....Julia
