I graduated from high school with Wesley, and had not seen him since graduation day, but we were FB friends. From his post, and his comments to the things I posted, I understood how kind and loving a person he was. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends. My God give you comfort and peace.
Although I only met Wes a few times, he was such a funny guy! Shawn, I’m terribly sorry for your loss. Remember how much he taught you and instill those values in your kids.?
