Words simply can't express the loss of one of the most gentle and caring men I've ever known in my lifetime. Not to mention the best friend anyone could ever ask for. Deacon Wesley Prince and I spent more quality time together than most and having talked with him just prior to this happening we never thought that would be the last time. I want to say to Sis Pamela Prince and children something you already know. Brother Wesley was one of the most awesome husband, father, grandfather and friend that God ever placed on this earth and yes to his wonderful Mother Dorothy Prince he was the best son ever. Most importantly we know he loved God with all his might and if you were ever in service with him you knew it as well. Lastly I want to say that My wife Joyce and I thank God for allowing us to be best friends with Wes and Pam for all these years. God Bless you and we love you! Robert and Joyce Barlow.
