  3. To the West Family and Friends; As long as I can recall of my childhood days, Marguerite and D.C. was always there for us kids, their neighbors, families, and friends. Marguerite was the most beautiful women I had ever came across. Not just physical beauties but, inter beauty. I can see her now with my Aunt Helen and Aunt Peggy just visiting each other. DC and Marguerite was always there for us as kids and adults. All my love and prayers go out to the family and friends in your time of need. How I wish I could be home, to be with you all as she was with me and my brothers when my mom was called home to God. “May the Choir of Angles lift her gently to Our Father in Paradise.” Amen. Always with love, Pete and Marie Pavlik Bellingham, WA

  6. Dear West Family: From time to time, I peruse the obits and I saw Ms. Marguerite’s name along with her spouse. I always thought they were the greatest. They were both kind, earnest and pleasant people. God bless you for sharing them with the people of Weirton. As a former resident of the area, they were both truly a blessing to the city. God bless you and all of your family during this time.
