Dear Kent and Jane

It is with profound sadness that I write this. Nothing could be worse than losing a child. From reading the other messages I know Wes was a wonderful young man who had two wonderful parents.

Rest in peace Wes. God bless you both in this very difficult time

Dear Kent & Jane...I've been hearing about Wesley since before he was born, thanks to my close friendship with his Aunt Liz. From scary tales of his earliest days as a sickly asthmatic child through recent joyous photos of David's wedding a few months ago, "how's Wes?" has been a constant topic of conversation between us. I'd only ever met your family once when we all helped Liz move into her house a dozen years ago, but I've known & loved all of you from afar for 35+ years. It is so sad to hear that Wes's journey reached such an early end. As always, my thoughts are with Liz and your entire family as you go through this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, Joy K Lederman

Kent,Jane,Dave
I am truly heartbroken to hear of Wes's passing. As you know Wes and I met in 1999 while freshman at Bloomsburg University and instantly formed a bond that will never be forgotten. Wes and his fellow friends at Bloomsburg shared a 5 year experience that was second to none. After school I had the privilege of continuing my friendship with him and that is going to be truly missed. Wes was a a very caring person that loved his family and friends more than these words can express. My thoughts and prayers are with each person that got to know him.
