Wes was a part of our life's for a long time and will always have a special place in my heart. My deepest sympathy, Roxie Moss

September 4, 2014

I am so sorry to know Wes is gone. My son David and Wes were room-mates for over 18 years while in the loving care of Sylvia and Israel Davis. Wes was a guest in my home on special occasions and I can still see his deep brown eyes looking into mine. We always kept a deck of playing cards on hand as Wes enjoyed sorting and showing them to us. I know this innocent soul is in heaven and perhaps he is praying for us now. Shalom Wes.

Condolences, David Moss's Mom
