Not sure what to say?

I like to write these things awhile after the fact, it´s easy to get caught up in the process when everything is fresh and she deserves a true memory level review so, after almost a year without her here it goes: Westbrook was odd in all the best ways. She had her own beat, her own drum, and didn´t care at all about how everyone else played. I had the honor of working with her and she literally saved my life. I remember the countless times how frustrated I would get with her because what...

I was very sad to hear the news that Westbrook is no longer with us. She was an incredible human, loving life, caring for others, making every day an adventure. When she came to the UK in 2019 we took a trip to Cornwall and spent time catching up over walks by the sea and drinks in the pub. She was the same person I´d known all those years ago, spirited and intelligent. I enjoyed this time together.

I am so sorry to belated hear the tragic news. I was at Lancing with Westbrook. She had an amazing independent spirit, and always lots of grit- I can just imagine her in court fighting hard for her clients. My memories of her are full of laughing and good fun, as well as singing whilst she played guitar. I will always remember her, thanks for sending her to the UK for a year.

I have just found out about Westbrook's passing. How very sad. I was a school with her when she came to the UK. She made our school days more fun and added a sense of adventure. She used to phone randomly from time to time often getting the time zone wrong and we would talk at 4am. Good bye my friend you will be missed.

Westbrook was much more than a lawyer to her clients. She was our foundation, our source of hope, our light in the darkness and no matter what, Westbrook refused to allow me to give up on myself. She promised me she would fight for me because she believed in me and knew who I truly was, not who they made me out to be. Westbrook, you saved my life. THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU! I will cherish our memories. Fly High!

I was Westbrooks back yard neighbor. She used to walk around the block to mend her old fence, in my yard. She was so sweet about it. She always had friends doing projects on her house, obviously she had a wealth of friends. I walked by her house every night, and every one since, my dog and I. Vases of flowers still adorn her yard, and porch. She made quite the impression, in a very short time . RIP Westbrook.
