Betty Jo, we were sad to hear of Wesley's passing. We will remember him with fondness for his outgoing personality that we experienced at the Swoope and Baum reunions. We also recall a good visit we had with you and Wesley several years ago. We will keep you in our prayers and hope that your family and friends will be of great comfort to you in the days ahead. With Sympathy, Ronnie and Reta Swoope

Bette Jo, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and Chip. I will always remember the family reunions and the ball games that Wesley and our other cousins endured, trying to keep up with him when we were young enough to play.
