We love you and miss you so very much. The memories of the love and laughter we all have shared as a family, the words of wisdom when all seemed to be lost, and the memories that will never be forgotten we will cheerish forever. I can say personally that I have never met a more wonderful man than Mr.Wes. Coming in to this family I was welcomed with open arms. Never was there a moment that he was too busy just to listen, to help and to show the greater joys in life to what mattered the most. There is one specific conversation that I will never forget and we will share forever. For this I thank you, and our memories will never be forgotten with you. He truly was an amazing man and will be missed greatly.
