"Dear Doris and girls - I was saddened to hear of Wes's passing which I have just heard of now. I know that he and John Mc are farming in heaven now and smiling as they do it. Wes was such a good friend to my dad and your family was so good to us in our old neighborhood. I will never forget your kindness when John had his farm accident. God bless you all. "
