  8. Wes you will be missed greatly. I miss you so much. This is really hard to deal with, I keep thnking I am gonna wake up from a bad nightmare, and your gonna be here, but I know that’s not gonna happen! Wes was a wonderful uncle, husband, friend, father…it’s gonna be hard to make it through this world without you! I was Wes’ favorite niece, I was his Crissy Baby, and I have been since the day I was born. Wes was always there for me, no matter what or when I needed him! I know Wes is in heaven with Papa, and Larry, and Aunt Nannie, and all the other people who was in our lives that has passed on. I have so many wonderful memories of Wes, from childhood on that are always gonna be forever in my heart, just as Wes will be! I love you so much Wes, and I wish you were here. Wes was looking foward to my upcoming wedding to Jonathan, and now he’s not here, he will be with me in spirit when I walk down that isle. Wes said I was always his pick, that anything I needed I could always call on uncle Wes. Wes I love you so much!! In closing, I want to say that Tammy you and Heather are both in my prayers and thoughts, and I love you both very much. If you find that you need anything I am here for you!

  15. To all the family- From Judy Ramirez Ann’s daughter. Iam so sorry about Wes If You need me e-mail me. Tammy and the kids my heart goes out to you. Wes was at my mother’s funeral and it is a shame that families are not closer than they are. Wes has gone home to live with Jesus where there is love and no arguing or fighting.

  22. Wesley,
    We didn’t really get to know eachother very well, but we’ll still be cousins forever. I’m sorry that we never truly got to know eachother because from all that I’ve heard, you were a great guy. I really wish we could have gotten to know eachother better but I’ll miss you and I know everyone else will to. Tammy and Heather, I know I haven’t really gotten to know you all very well either, but you are still in our prayers. Stay strong!!!
    Your cousin,
    Samantha
