Your mother, Sister Westbrook, was a wonderful Christian soldier leading people to God. Sister Westbrook was an example of a Godly Woman. Her leadership at noonday prayers were always insightful and left you feeling thankful for what you had. She will be missed.
Sending lots of hugs and love to her family during this difficult time.

I have had plenty of great memories of Rita Westbrook. She was a great nurse and administrator at Crane Hill School where I got to know her from. She was always good to me and I would say hello to her whenever she would be around. I enjoyed her mentorship and I will sure miss her. She will be missed by all who knew her including me.

My heartfelt condolences to the family of Miss Lillian. I only had an opportunity to meet her a few occasions, and she came to visit her daughter in California, but you could tell she was a very kind soul and her legacy of love and faith will live on through her children and grandchildren. Make the Lord bless and keep you during this sad time and yet choice knowing that she is in a place there is no more pain now we´re suffering and then more sorrow. Love to you all.
