Randy, I,(Gene), only got to meet your mom a couple of times but I have to say that she was one of those special people that we only occasionally get to meet. Once you met her, you couldn't forget her. She was a very sweet, gracious lady. It looks like we always lose the best all too soon. Randy, our love, thoughts, and prayers are with you and all the family. May God hold you close in His comforting care.
Friends forever,
Gene, Liz and Sandy Truett

Randy, my heart goes out to you and your family in the tragic loss of your Moma. She was such a sweet lady, talented and pleasant to be around. I will always treasure the angel painting she did special for me as well as our conversations. She will be missed. Thank you for sharing her with me. Take comfort in the fact that she is in Heaven with our Lord and Savior and we Christians will be united with her again. My thoughts and prayers are will you all.

I know of your mother through your grandmother, Ailene. Aunt Ailene was married to my Uncle Peewee. She always spoke so lovingly of your mother and her children and grandchildren. I am very saddened to learn of her death. My prayers are with your family.

I met Jean through the Sunday School class at Central Baptist. Jean was very kind and loved people. If you met her for the first time as a stranger, you left her presence as a new friend. I miss my friend.

I work with Debra Kette at Riverhills Bank in Vicksburg, Ms. I never got the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Westbrook but Debra did talk about her often. I knew that she was an artist because I have seen a portrait of Debra's daughter, Brandy, in Debra's home that Mrs. Westbrook did. She was very gifted in that respect alone. My heart goes out to the family. I just can't imagine what this family is going through. I am so sorry for your loss.

May God give you strength to get through this, we are all thinking about you. Let us know if there is anything any one of us can do here in Vicksburg to help. Our love and comforting prayers.

You're in my prayers. I can't imagine the grief you must be experiencing. Your mom sounds like a wonderful lady, Baptist and Republican, doesn't get any better than that! Seriously, I hope you can find some peace with all of this, I'll be praying for you.

This was one special lady. Every time I walked into her house with Curtis, she greeted and treated me like one of her own. I'll never forget how Curtis mentioned in passing to her that I love chicken spaghetti. Well, guess what was on the table the very next time I came over?
God has called home one of His and may she rest comfortably forever in His arms.
