To the Westbrook family: I give you my deepest and heart felt sympathy. I worked with Mr. Westbrook for a short period of time back in 2006. He was sweet, quiet man who will be missed dearly. May God bless you all in your time of sorrow. (Walgreens Co-worker)

I got to know him for a short time while he was my exa at Walgreens back in 2007 when my store used to be 1788. I got to see him again during our inventory time this year at my store and it was nice to get to see him. My blessings go out to his family. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. ~Hume(Walgreens In Palm Beach Gardens, Fl)

Dear Mr.and Mrs. Westbrook, Ann and Marie,
My heart hurts for you all. I will always remember Bobby (sorry, can't call him Bob), for his sweet, softspoken disposition. I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone. Although I know he is in a much better place, he will be greatly missed here on earth and never forgotten by his old friends and classmates. May God bless you all and bring you comfort.
