There’s an open gate at the end of the road Through which each must go alone And there in the light we cannot see Our Father claims his own Beyond the gate our loved one finds happiness and rest And there is confidence in the thought that a loving God knows best.

Add A Condolence

Sending prayers to the Jones family. I came to know Wesley as a junior in high school in 1983 working at Winn-Dixie. I started working in the meat department and Wesley took me under his wing and trained me how to become a butcher. I will be ever grateful to him for taking time and being patient with me. We worked several years together until he went to the Department of Corrections. I will always remember that big smile on his face every time we met. Rest In Peace my friend. James Powell , South Hill, Va
