I miss you grandma and I just wanted to tell you that! Love you!

I was sorry to learn of our cousin Barbara's passing. I enjoyed our telephone conversations. Even in her failing health, her warmth came through in her letters. We send our love and prayers to all of you.

Our deepest sympathy to the entire Westberry-Willims family from the Brown family on the loss of our cousin. We were not aware of her passing until today.
We knew she had been in poor health for a long period of time and now she will be at peace with the Lord.
May God be with the entire family and keep in contact.

To the family of Barbara Westberry-Williams:

Our deepest sympathy is with you in the loss of your mother, aunt, and grandmother. Words are often not enough to fill the void you will each experience during this time. However, Barbara was an awesome, beautiful Black woman and made a tremendous contribution to and sacrificed on behalf of the struggle and the Minneapolis Community.

Let her spirit live on in the works and deeds that you do that will improve the lives of our people,...

What a wonderful strong African American woman she was.... and she was your mother, grandmother, aunt, cousin...this community owns her a debt of thanks for all her hard work... the African American and white community were changed because of her warrior spirit...she loved her people and worked tirelessly on their behalf.... she is now sitting with the father and I know he has said to her come on in...

May you rest in peace. You will be missed but not forgotten.
Job well done.
