Dear beloved Family of Rev. Dr. West,
I have been deeply saddened to hear of Rev. West’s passing. He was a great inspiration to me, since becoming our pastor in my teenage years. A very wise and dignified speaker, who always had time for a word, even for the youngest of hearts. He shared the Word and his love for God in a way that anyone could understand and was just one of the kindest people you would ever want to meet. We feel especially blessed to have had Rev. West join my husband and I together in holy matrimony.
Please know that you are all in our prayers, Family. I pray that the Lord will comfort you and grant you peace beyond all understanding in the days and years ahead.
With love,
Jacqulyn McKie Lewis (Darnel) and Family
Thoughts and prayers are with the family.
