Thinking of Wesley and Kayt  / Denise Lanuti (friend)
Dear Kayt and Wes,
I am so proud to have known Wes and so glad that I know Kayt.
You are inspiration to me Kayt, your smile, that chuckle of yours and your ability to stay positive,...... amazing.
I will always remember Wes as smiling and concerned about others. He was a very thoughtful and gentle young boy and man. I will never forget him. Thanks for sharing him with us Kayt.
I love you
Denise Close

Thinking strongly of you today  / Patt (friend of Moms )

Thinking of you today, Wes... your beautiful smile, your boldness. Knowing that your mom still suffers greatly from your loss.

Wrap her tight in Angel Arms today.. and forever.

Help her to dream the sweetest dreams of you that cause her to awaken with a smile on her face... because you have touched it, ever so gently.

Kaye your son is beautiful  / Patricia Wade
I'm so sorry for your loss. your website is very nice and I enjoyed seeing all your pictures. I use to live in Arkansas. Pine Bluff actually. My relatives are buried in Sheridan and different little places. I lived there for 5 years but just couldn't make a living. We lost John 7 weeks ago, he was murdered by three guys. They tied his feet with his sweater, beat him, strangled him with his dog's chain and robbed him. Close

Your song  / Donna Farar (Sister/Friend to his Mom )
Hi Wes,

I just wanted to let you know that your Mom sent the lyrics she wrote for you "The Day the Bug Flew in My Ear" to my son, Clay. He has written music to go with the lyrics. He was deeply touched by your Mother's love for you and deeply saddened to know you are no longer on the planet with us. He hopes you and your Mom will like the song. I only saw you when you were just a young child, but I see from your photos that you grew into a handsome, talented and dedicated young Man. My life has been touched by you via your Mother Kayt. I am blessed to have her in my life and we were all blessed to have you on this planet with us for even a short time. Here is a poem for you by Carl Sandburg:

Bubbles

Two bubbles found they had rainbows on their curves.
They flickered out saying:
"It was worth being a bubble just to have held that
rainbow thirty seconds."

Yes, Wes, you definitely held that rainbow!!!

Love and Peace,
Donna Close

Thinking of You  / Darien Russell (Mom's Friend )
Wes, I lived in Arkansas for about ten years and knew your mom but not well. My daughter Keara was murdered on April 5 2006. Your Mom has been a great support to me during this time. Through her I feel as if I know you and I believe that you and Keara would have been friends if you knew each other in life. You both walked to the beat of a different drummer. I hope that you know each other now and are having a good time . Know that your mom's love and support each other and we love you and you will always live on in our hearts. Close

I Miss You  / Jeri ~Mom To Laquan Majette~ (Memorial Friend )

I Miss You 


I miss your laughter, fun and gentleness.
I miss the things I used to do for you.
I miss the time, now filled with emptiness,
When each day was a stage for something new.
I miss your love, though mine for you remains,
A passion with no outlet to the sea,
A teardrop in the desert, that contains
What's left of my maternal ecstasy.
I miss your presence, like a silent cord
That anchored even solitude in grace.
I miss, for my love's labor, the reward
On seeing some small pleasure on your face.
All these I miss, and yet they are all here
Within my heart, far more than I can bear.

W / Kayt (MOM)
                             We remember Them

In the rising of the sun,
 and in it's going down,
  We will remember them;

In the blowing of the wind
 and in the chill of winter,
  We will remember them;

In the opening of the buds
 and in the warmth of summer,
  We remember them;

In the rustling of leaves
 and the beauty of autumn,
  We will remember them;

In the brginning of the year
 and when it ends,
  We will remember them

When we are weary
 and in need of strenght,
  We remember them;

When we are lost
 and sick at heart
  We will remember them;

When we have joys 
 we yearn to share,
  We will remember them;

So long as we live,
 they too shall live,
  for they are now a part of us as
  We remember them

From Gates of Prayer

I'M RESTING NOW  / Jeri Majette (Memorial Friend )

IM RESTING NOW

 

I’m resting in the sunshine now, the way I know I should.

In a garden filled with beauty, where the air is always good.

I’ve obtained a place where real estate is priceless and so fine…

Where friends are always glad to call, and say, “it’s just Divine.

 

While the years on earth pass swiftly, here we have no fear of time.

For the fears of life have vanished, and the atmosphere’s sublime.

 

Tell my friends, I’ll always love them,

and our God is overall.

So, we’ll meet again in Heaven,

When they hear the Father’s call.

 

For the flowers and the friendship, and the joys of life we’ve shared,

there’s the sweetest kind of memory, in the faith we’ve all declared.

 

So, God bless you all, in passing.

May your days ahead be filled,

with the finest and truest,

till we go where God has willed.

Rest in Heavenly peace, Wes

Victim Advocate/Prosecutor'--s Office  / Stephanie Terlep (Victim advocate )
As a man, Wes was thoughtful, caring and kind.
As an angel, Wes is thoughtful, caring and kind.
Perhaps, he became impatient to go onto the Greatest Adventure of All. 
I can well imagine him, sitting next to the Thrown of his Creature and asking Him:  "Why do bad things happen to good people?"
I imagine him and Cassity, tell jokes and making God laugh!
I can hear his laughter in the sound of the pounding surf.
We are all spirits, learning to be human.
In spirit and in Fact, Wes is with us still.
Talk to him, and he will listen.
Hear him speaking through the gentle breeze rustling threw the trees or through the hurricans, depending on his moods.
Watch him smile at us, whenever we see a beautiful flower in bloom.
In our hearts we say:  "We love you, Wes!"
In our prayers we say: "We miss you, Wes!"
In unison we say: "Rest in peace, brother!" Close

Today I Thought I Saw You (Kayt my dear friend, I can only guess how you feel).  / Sue Jones (Friend)

Today I thought I saw you.

Just for a second, when I looked at your chair,

I thought you were setting there.

I blinked my eyes, and you were gone.

I walked in the garden, something flashed in the corner of my vision.

It looked like you.

I turned quickly, but you were not there.

I heard laughter today. It sounded like you.

Then I realized it was just the wind.

As I passed by the fireplace today, I straightened your picture.

You smiled at me. I did a double take.

I sat down and cried.

All at once I understand.

You, sitting in your chair. You, walking in the garden. The sound of your beautiful laughter. Your smile tugging at the corners of my mind.

You will never be gone.

You live in my memory. You live in my heart.

Today I thought saw you …..and I did.

To a beautiful soul  / Pam Wasdin (a mom who lost a child )
Wes, your Mom has written me after she read about my daughter being murdered. You know, after reading about you, my daughter and you were the free spirits that everyone envies. T he loving ones who are open to everyone and accepting of the differences.  I know that God has a special place for you and my Dara. the place must be full of sunshine, waves and sweet sounds of music.  Wes, know your Mom loves you and as a Mom, I can tell you that she misses you.  But there is solice that one day we will be together with our babies again.  Continue on young man, praising God and walking the beautiful beaches beyond.  Love and Peace, Pam Close

May God Bless you Kayt  / Debbie Wiley
