Your shocking death just broke the hearts of everyone you loved.
When I found out that you had died
I thought that they were wrong.
You were so alive - and then
just like that, you were gone.
A flame blown out in seconds,
Confirming our worst fears -
A light that shines no more on earth
for which we shed many tears.
But still you are our beacon
And we need you right now.
You hear all the prayers we say
Because they are answered somehow.
We wish that you could be here,
But in a way you are.
Thoughts of you area always with us,
so we know you can't be far.
It still is quite a shock to us
that you had to die;
But no one will forget you
We love you, and goodbye. | Amanda Ritchie |

He told his mother that he was in love with her, wanted to change their relationship from friendship to partners. His mom said that she couldn't be happier about having a daughter-in-law like C. And how proud she was of Wes for seeing the inner person. And the next night, after he'd been to visit the girl, he was shot at close range, in his car at a robot. They took his wallet..and nothing else. Never found, never reported on news, just another death...Wes, your family still miss you - losing you just about killed your mom and Phillip.
