WE worked together for a few short months and she had a direct impact on me. I know the world lost a beautiful soul. God’s blessing to her daughter who will carry on her spirituality and love.
Jeri’s love of laughter will always remain with me. Her heart was so full of caring for all of us, and, she did not mind telling us if we were not thinking correctly! Her goodness was just part of her being, surrounding her with an aura of determination and calm. I keep a picture of her at 5 years old that she sent out on her 50th birthday to remind me of the dear heart she always had. Much love to her family and friends.
Ms. Jerilynn Westbrook was one of the sweetest, most caring woman that I had the pleasure of knowing. I praying everyday that God will continue to Bless her family abundantly during this time. To her daughter, my sister, my best friend, Tassia Wagner, I love you beyond words could ever express. You all are in my prayers and I have Faith that God will continue to strengthen your mind, your heart, your soul, and your body. RIH Ms. Westbrook. You will definitely be missed by many.
We have lost one of the kindest and gentlest person I have ever had the privilege to know. I will cherish our memories of our time together. I truly believe she was a gift from God that came into my life at the exact time I needed her most. She was such a positive influence in my life as well as my family. I enjoyed listening to her advice and her words of wisdom. I will miss her late night text messages and our lunch/dinner dates where we would sit for hours catching up about life. I will say a special prayer each day in her memory in thanks for having had the opportunity to know Jeri and count her among my closest friends. I will also pray for her daughter and family that they have the strength to carry on. God bless and thank you for sharing her beautiful heart with me. I feel truly blessed.
