Wes you will miss. You were my biggest fan when I decorated the hotel at Christmas. Be at peace now. We love you
I only worked with Wess for a short time when he moved back to Lincoln, but he always stopped by to see me and hang out. He always made my day and sure knew how to keep me laughing. Rest easy, friend.
