Tombstone Tuesday: Andrea Westbrook

Headstone of Andrea Westbrook at Sunrise Memorial Cemetery, Vallejo, California
I actually do not know who Andrea Westbrook is. I came across her name when I photographing headstones of other family members in Sunrise Memorial Cemetery. I am hoping that by posting this here, I will find a connection. 
All that is known about Andrea is that she was born and died in 1974. If you know anymore, I would love to hear from you.
