Your experiences in Westmont have been unique; as residents or former residents, we all come from different walks of life. We may be a diverse family, but we are bound by our love and respect for our beloved town. Westmont has enriched our lives and the lives of those around us. As we move through life, this town will always remain a part of each of us.
We’d like to offer a way for those who treasure their time in Westmont to leave a legacy, not just a symbol of your time in Westmont.
