Where he no longer cries  / Kayt Fossler (Mom)
there was a little man
 going no where
running faster and faster to a master
who wasn't there
he obeyed his every wish
he did even more
for darkness was approuching
beyond his little door
his little mind was useless
against the odds he faced
to be born a servant
to a master with no face
one day may he realise
what his mind can do
find himself a place
among the choosen few
far from the cities
the lights and the lies
to a place of freedom
where he no longer cries

I love you, my golden sun

To feel the pain of loss  / Jill (Friend)
I heard a distant ring
or was it a hum
A mystical calling
from behind the wind
enticing me forward
or was it backward?

To a time and place
Where all stood still
in awe of the opportunity
to live and breath
to love
and laugh

To feel the pain
of loss
and the fullfillment
of continueing on

To Wesely  / Jeffery (friend)
Wesley,
I understand how people worry about friends and family. I believe yourself and others protect both those who worry and the ones they worry about.
Love Jeffery Close

Mahalo, My Brother  / Marty (Friend)
Wes to me was like a human pooh bear. He was simple, trusting, loving, adventurous, always up, he'd never bring you down.
Wes was always there for a friend and would befriend anyone. He didn't understand  hate, fear, judgement, the things that most of the world is running on these days.
 We all learned many lessons from Wes, from nature to life. He was so much fun to hang with, that you never knew you were learning from him.
Looks, color, race, age, I don't think Wes ever saw these things, for he truly saw the inner beauty in all.
Aloha Nui, my friend !!!
Marty G.

so many good times, so many adventures

Mention my child / Kayt Fossler (mom)

Go ahead and mention my child,
The one that died, you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further.
The depth of my pain doesn't show.
Don't worry about making me cry,
I am already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing the tears that I try to hide.
I am hurt when you just keep silent,
Pretending he did not exist.
I'd rather you mention my child,
knowing that he has been missed.
You ask me how I was doing,
I say "pretty good", or "fine."
But healing is somthing ongoing
I feel it will take a lifetime.

Memories / Kayt Fossler (mom)
The memory of your smile
 fades like the sun setting on an autum's eve
Your laughter is but an echo
 bouncing off the cliffs of time
The days blend together
 like the sun bleached strands of your hair
I look to the sky
 waiting to catch a glimpse
 of the fair haired boy
Who slipped away on butterfly wings
Leaving me as bare, as the oak, in winter
Waiting for you and the warm rays of spring

Love, mom

Turn Back the Clock / Kayt Fossler (mom)

I wish I could turn back the clock, to the day the bug flew in my ear
To know then, what I know now about things that were to happen that year.
To call my son, to wish him well, to hear his voice one last time
To tell him I loved him and was so proud, that he was a child of mine
But I didn't call that day in May and will forever wonder, what if?
For he's gone from us now and you know
It's his sweet smile that I miss, that wild , wild hair, that impish grin, the innocent love that he gave
To all of his friends and family, he'll never know the difference he made

Love Mom

Thank you for your gift / John (Frirend)
I lived on the farm with Wes, for a year or so and was truly touched by his kindness and generousity.
I believe his kindness and generousity, were the clues one had that Wes, was exceptional among us. I believe he learned more in twenty years, that most of us learn in a lifetime and then moved to a better place.
Thank you for the gift of Wesley.

Hey Aloha Nui / Clark (Friend)
You know, Little Wes-Yeh, the Duke Boy, straight out of Boss Hog Heaven. He came to work at the coffee store, this too Yuppie enviroment- with his bib overalls-wild hair-impish grin.He always had a smile He came to a Bar-B Q one night, busted a glow stick over his head, looked like a crazy saint, just wanted to make us laugh.
I know Wes, wanted to farm, anything from Orchids to Taro, it still grows , his legacy. Myself and his friends, the love he generated. I really liked the little guy cause he didn't want to surf, didn't want to hang out in the ling-up.
God bless him, God bless you guys.
Aloha, Clark Close

Many, Many Maahalos / Hans (Friend)
The Gods were kind enough to share this golden style son with all of us who were lucky. One of the most pleasant people I have ever met.
He continuously exudes the joys of hard work, laughter,humility and nature with a smile alone.
At times he would look to me as a role model and I would be thinking to myself," Wesley you have 3x's the knowledge, kindness and energy than myself".
Plants were it. He felt them with his heart. John and I cut back a tree to see the surf one day and when Wes saw what we had done, he was so sad, it gave me butterflies in my stomach. Hell, he dressed up like a tree for Holloween, fooled and scared everyone! We really thought he was a bush, until he lunged at us. Hats off to you. Wes was so chosen for a greater cause.
Love Hans Close

A letter to mom  / Laura (Friend)
Hi Mom
It's Laura, I met you at the BBQ at D.T.
I want to share my flower drop I did for little brother Wes last week.
I threw my flowers into the ocean, wathced and thought of little brother. All of a sudden I heard a noise, I looked into the water and saw two puffer fish playing. I looked in  and said "Little brother, is that you messing with me"? I looked again and saw two yellow Tangs, playing, with that I said " You are messing with me Little Brother !!!!
Love to you guys, Laura Close

For Wes and Us  / Jill (friend)

The wind raged across the moment
The morning sun shone it's precious light upon a new day
An emptiness had fallen upon the experience
And all stood in utter silence
An earth angle has returned too soon
Confusion races through the marrow of all that is
Who has the power to question?
Who has the abilty to understand?
Can we grasp the fragilness of love we give or recieve?
We kneel before the universe with shattered hearts and aching souls
YET THE HEAVEN'S REJOICE FOR THE HOME COMING
The gentle being did not compromise his ability to give love
We are fortunate to have been blessed with such an honest presence.
As the days pass, the wind will continue to rage
Light and Dark will dance across the years, never to bring answers to calm the ache
Yet, when the wind brings scents of earth and flowers
We will remember the sweet smile, that our Wesley shared, so freely, so effortlessly
And took nothing but our hearts
