Foley & Co. Funeral Directors Brother Joe Brumbelow noted on the Clergy Record the beautiful floral tribute at the Funeral. John Beaumont West and his family were faithful members of Doverside Baptist Church. I was a teenager at the time and went to church with them. Warren and Brenda West and I were a part of the youth group at Doverside. I remember Mr. West working as a volunteer helping to pour a concrete sidewalk joining the back of the church property with the Oxford Place Apartments. This was done to give the apartment residents better access to church and to stores at Duff Lane and Irvington. But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. -1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; The Bible. Scripture Rev. Joe Brumbelow often used in Funerals. -submitted by David R. Brumbelow, P.O.
