Arletha Westley is the owner of Annie Mae&#8217;s Soul Food Restaurant, off Frankston Highway and Old Noonday Road.  &#8220;Hey, we&#8217;re all working trying to make it,&#8221; Westley told KETK.  We all put a lot into this business, and I don&#8217;t want anyone to rob me or anyone else.&#8221; <!--more--> <\/p>\n<p>Westley works hard for her money. Her business is built on family tradition and a love for serving others.  &#8220;I&#8217;ve always had a compassion for helping others because I feel like I&#8217;m here today because others have helped me from a child on up. My parents taught us how to help one another, even if we had one dollar, maybe try to share a quarter with someone else,&#8221; said Westley.  It broke her heart Saturday to find her restaurant burglarized with $50 missing from the cash register.  &#8220;When I entered, the register was laying up. It was taken apart and the money, currency tray, was laying separate. So they didn&#8217;t take the time to place it back in,&#8221; said Westley.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler police searched the building and checked for fingerprints. The biggest sign of intrusion was a broken window and a rock found inside the building. Shattered glass was on the floor. The burglars took more than just money. They stole a woman&#8217;s sense of safety. &#8220;I feel a little threatened by all means.  I&#8217;m beginning a concealed handgun class as of next month, so maybe I&#8217;ll feel a little bit more comfortable at that time,&#8221; said Westley.  She said she just wants justice.  &#8220;I hope that the crime here stops. I really do, and I pray that people seek Jesus,&#8221; said Westley.  The burglary isn&#8217;t stopping her from helping others. She said she plans to start feeding the homeless once a month at her restaurant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER \u2014 Saturday morning a woman found her Tyler restaurant burglarized.
