Wes, your kindness and hard work touched so many people and made their lives better for knowing you. I have very fond memories of you, thank you for them all.
Unfortunately my health prevents me from attending to pay my respects properly, I hope you accept this message with the good intentions and respect with which it is intended.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family, and especially your good Lady.

Aunt Vera;
Sending you my deepest sympathies in this difficult time. Uncle Wes was a kind and spirited man and I enjoyed the time I spent with him. He will be fondly remembered.
Dear Vera,
My sincere sympathy in the passing of Wes. I think of the good times when we met at Pops. Carm held Wes in high regard. Their Masonic work meant a great deal to them. My thoughts are with you.
Elva Whitmore, St. Thomas
