Well dad, it has been a month since you went to be with God. We all miss you so very much. You not being here with us as the head of our family, to go thru the good times, to help us thru the hard times, to make us smile and to see yours has not been easy. The only consulation is that you are at peace and I am feeling that peace for you. Even now, it is evident of the influence you have had on so many and I know it will be with me thru my lifetime I'm sure. We, your family, are going to be alright with time. I am just so thankful to you for the strength and faith you instilled in us to survive our greatest loss. Dad, watch over us and I pray that God will bless us until we meet again. I love you dad now and always. Keep smiling and keep singing. It is your just reward.

To my dad...the most wonderful man I've ever or will ever know. I miss you so much already dad, but I am happy and at peace knowing that you are sitting at the right hand of God and singing with all of those who went before you. I cannot find the words to say how much your love, influence and guidance meant to me in my life. Even now it's so difficult to express how much I love you for all that you sacrificed to give me this wonderful life with you. I will never forget all of the many memories I have. You are the best dad ever and I will have you and your songs in my heart forever.
I love you dad so very much.

Mrs. West, Stan, and Family,
We lift you up with our prayers at the passing of Mr. West. As a young boy he was always a man to look up to. As an adult he was always friend to our family - a true man of God.
May God's Spirit be very real to you today and the days ahead.
