Another one of my good friends are no longer on my paper route. I was sadden to hear of your loss. I always made it my business to visit Ms West each time I come home. I last saw her July 2007 when I came for my father's birthday. We had an enjoyable visit. The Family of Mrs West is in my prayers.

Charles & John your mom has a heart of gold and a beautiful spirit. My children and I feel truly blessed in having the opportunity to meet her. She reminded me so much of my grandma such a "kind spirited" woman. She will be dearly missed, but know that she is with God and she suffers no more. Also during your time of sorrow remember she is there comforting the you not in the physical but in the "spiritual". May God bless and comfort all of you (whole family) in your time of sorrow. This is Pumpkin's daughter.
