Wesley I still remember the day I meet you back in 6th grade and not only did you become my friend you where a part of my family! . You saw us like other people never would you kept us close and you accept us in every way specially knowing that my little brother is different you made the time to spend with him and get to know him and we will forever love you for that. There is so much I could say about you but your kind heart and gentleness that everyone knows well at least who got to know you would know!. They took you from use I just wish we could've been close as time past but may you rest in the arms of our maker and may your light still bright. I always keep you close to me I wake up to your picture on my mirror every morning and even though you didn't get to know my kids in person they have stories I tell them of you. You might be gone but never forgotten your light still shines in me! We will visit soon again!. Love always Alexa, Nathan and Me 😙
