Uncle Wesley I miss you dearly. Our family dinners will not be the same.. I will miss you asking for ketchup, hot sauce and cake to accompany your meal.. I will miss you asking for my peach cobbler and about my boys.. And lastly there is no one in the world that I know of that can chew gum and have a tooth pick in his mouth at the same time (you had to see this for yourself to get it).. Uncle Wesley you are a man of honor and I salute you for all that you have done for my aunt, cousin and our entire family.. When the Lord called you home, I'm sure that he said job well done my child.. I love you! Kina

Wes, thank you for 31 beautiful years we shared together. I thank God that he allowed you to be in my life, and the many smiles, the many kind things you did, and my beautiful land scaping that I take the compliments when our neighbors come by, I thank you Wes that I had the opportunity to learn the things you ALWAYS said "Sheril" you need to learn this, and I did . I miss all the little things that you did like putting that black can out, putting that blue can out, changing the light bulbs, not honey I got to watch the neighbors to do what they do. Wes we have a wonderful church family, and because of you we have lots of love coming from your friends, and they have shown us that they cared about you, and now they are showing lots of love to us. I love you and I am going to miss you, and Kaylah will miss her PaPa also, but don't worry she knows where the gum is. Love your wife "Shirley
