I will always remember all the years growing up with memories of going to see my cousins Bobby and Marie at the store eatting hot dogs and anything else they wanted to give us to eat – all the fun times we had will never be forgotten my prayers go out to you all . I will miss Bobby very much Love to you all Donna
Although I’ve never got to meet Lenard my mom and her husband would always tell me of what kind of man he was, which was a very special one. I will always remember the stories that my mom would tell of when her and lenny went down there to visit lenny’s mom and dad.Some of the stories were pretty funny I might say. I’m saddended because I’ve never gotten the chance to know the true Lenard R. Westover but, I did get to hear the many stories. I’m sure that losing a loved one may hurt for a long time but remember that, HIS Joy Comes In The Morning. Love Tonya Lynn Gooden (Delia and Lennys Daughter) from Henryetta ok.
To the Uncle I never met… rest in peace….
Miss you pop
Hey pop,
You and mom have been together for 4+months now.
When you passed the family thought you were still with us for a month. Even Enterprise, well you called her Prize acted funny at times. She would get up in and walk to another room like she was called but nobody there.
I left you a message that you were to hold on tight to mom if she was not to live pain free. I really waited to feel her again, that never came.
Your kids want to thankyou for holding on and not have her wait to join you. MISS YOU BOTH
PHIL THE FORGOTTEN CHILD. by friends and family except by you 2
