I would like to let Kevin and Tammy know that we are very sad to hear of Wes passing. We always liked seeing him and visiting with him and Donna. I guess the best thing is that they are now together and enjoying a beer with Dennis. He has alot of family to welcome him up there and they will be pleased to see him once again. Please know we are thinking of you at this time. Please take care of one another. Love Bob and Debbie Day

Tammy, Kevin and families thinking of all you today my thoughts are with you. Thinking of your Dad reminds me of when we were all young and the boys used to spend the summers at Grandpa and Grandma Brown’s in Bright Sand it used to be horseback riding and buggy running. Then when New Years came along it was the tradition that all Grandpa and Grandma’s children gathered at their house. Then there were many of us and us kids could always take the team hook them up to the caboose and away we would go but we had to take turns because we were many. It was always a contest to see who could find the deepest snow and who could tip the caboose the most. Yes many memories stay safe kids and look after and love one another.

Tammy and Kevin and Families. I have just now heard about the passing of your Dad. Please accept my sincere condolences, I lost my wife to Dementia three years ago and know the struggle that Wes went through. We shared the same birthdate. He was a good friend and co worker and will certainly be missed. Keith Bennett
