To the entire Coddou family,

My heart has been aching for each of you ever since I learned of Wes' passing. Wes was a beloved husband, family man, and friend to many. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have known such a great man.
By becoming friends with Ann when we were both eight years old, I grew up getting to know Wes over the years. At the forefront of my memories is the feeling of complete inclusion by the Coddou family -- in large part due to Wes. He always treated me as one of the family every time I visited the house. Fresh, homemade crepes by Wes graced the weekend mornings. Cultural learning and educational opportunities abounded whenever Wes spent time with us.  Above all else, it was his genuine kindness that left the greatest impact on my time knowing Wes.
As I reflect on my lifelong friendship with Ann, I will always remember her father, Wes, with fondness and gratitude. Ann -- how lucky you are to share Wes' name. I extend all of my condolences to all of the lives touched by Wes Coddou. May our memories of him carry on his life indefinitely.
