The Wesley family is and has always been near and dear to my heart. I share in their sorrow. I vaguely remember Rev. Wesley's Quartet days, I believe he sang with "The Zion Travelers" . What I do know, without a doubt, is Rev. preached sound doctrine and he had a whoop, that could NOT be imitated.

Family, please accept my sincere condolences with love and respect!

My sincere condolences to Lady Deborah Bell, Evang. Lenora and the entire Wesley family. I will certainly pray for your comfort and peace as you celebrate the life of this faithful servant. As a teen and young adult, I had the pleasure of being a member at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Wesley. I will cherish the memories and the inspiring messages he preached.
