Well Baby girl, it's been a year. I miss you so much and I know I always will. Everybody is gonna try really hard today to make Nick's birthday happier than last year...but you will be on all our minds as well as in our hearts..I know you will look down and smile on all of us. We all love you still. I know you are happy because there is no grief in heaven and I know in my heart that's where you are. You will be missed forever.

Heaven has taken another angel from us. While we should be thrilled that Brook is in heaven, we are so hurt and sad that she is not here with us and her precious Hannah. Brook only had 23 years here, but she touched more lives than some do in 80 plus years. Brook will be missed deeply always...She had a true understanding of HOW to be a friend and proved it daily. She was an awesome sister to her brothers, never cutting them any slack to mess up..but keeping the door open to them to confide in her. She was a rock in this family. She was a true Mother to Hannah..and her love for Hannah showed in her eyes as well as her voice...Hannah owned her heart!!! She loved her Dad!! She told me several times that Mickey was not only her Dad, but her best friend. She loved her Mother and was missing her and was very happy that she had her Grandmother in her life. and Steve, she was so happy to be with him and was planning a wonderful future with him...Me, Beth, Vickie...the list goes on and on...I spent the Saturday before she died with her...We talked the entire time we were together. I was wondering why we talked about some of the things we talked about...I am no longer wondering...I now know. Those hours with her are now cherished memories...and will always be. I see her smile and hear her voice...I love you Aunt Connie!!! She may not be here to say that to me again...but I will never forget!!!!

I've Known Brooklyn for a while now. Before Hannah was born. Just like any friends, we had our up's and down's. Brooklyn was a very sweet person with a open mind. She had a kind heart. I'm very sorry for the family's loss.
I wrote a poem for you Brooklyn...
Do not stand at my grave and weep
i am not there i do not sleep..
i am the thousand winds that blow
i am the diamond glint on snow..
i am the sunlight on ripened grain
i am the gentle autumn rain..
and if u waken the mornings hush
i am the swift uplifting rush..
of quiet birds in circling flight
i am the stars that shine at night..
do not stand at my grave and cry
i am not there i did not die...

I met Brooklyn a long time ago, when we worked together. We lost contact after we both quit the job but she was a very sweet person. She would always bring Hannah in the store and would always talk about her. My Fiance B knew her very well and thought she was a sweet heart. She will truly be missed. We will keep Hannah and the rest of the family in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

To Mickey, Connie, Beth, dearest Hannah, the boys and Steve, I can not express enough over the lost of Brooklyn. She was/is a loving daughter,mother, aunt, niece and sister. She is a shining star and that glow will remain forever. There are times when you feel the hurt will never go away, but if you close your eyes and reflect on Brooklyn, eventually that smile will return.

Micky, My prayers are with you and your family. I feel very close to Tyler and I hope he knows that Trey or I will do anything we can to help him begin to heal from the loss of his sister. May god give you and your sons special attention in the days to come.
Our Love, Betty, Bobby, Trey & Nick Baldwin

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived
okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here
is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up
and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were
gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for
me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's
chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life
on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not
be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But
one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a
time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will
give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day
was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the
way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick
him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in
your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember
you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Condolences to the family and friends who are left behind, but especially to your beautiful baby girl. It is hard to know what to say except that although you were very much loved here on earth, God in his infinite wisdom, saw fit to bring you home to love on you even more.

To Brooklyn's family,
I only got to talk with her a couple times when I was in Virginia when she would bring my cousin Hannah by. She was very nice and pleasant to be around. May God be with the family and especially with Hannah.
Best Regards,
