As we live on the east coast, we knew Wes mainly through the stories told by his mom, most memorably about the time he carried her up the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington so she could get a close-up view of President Lincoln. But in August of 2002, we met him in person as he led us through the maze of rules for playing bingo at the White House. We still remember that our faces hurt the next morning from laughing so hard on that very special evening with Wes and his mom. But the strongest memory of that night is the wonderful relationship he had with his friends. It was clear that he cared deeply about them and they cared deeply about him. The world is a sadder place for his loss.
