Everyone loved Deacon Brooks. He was so full of love and laughter! When he spoke to you, he would just light up like q shining star, and he would make you laugh and smile. God has taken a good man, and we cherish the time we had down here on earth with him. Deacon Brooks knew that he was loved, therefore, he was able to rest in peace. May the Lord bless you and comfort you at this most difficult time. Please know that you have so many who hold your family in prayer.

To my aunt, cousins and family i will miss uncle william.He always wanted to fight someone. He loved life and he loved the lord. we had a few conversations about church.He always said you have to treat people right but don't let anyone make a fool out of you. i will truly miss him and his smile. To his children and aunt lillian be strong he"s in heaven i know and probably talking everyone's ear off. He loved to talk and he loved being around people. To God be the glory for loaning him to us for a little while, for letting his light shine with us and always being there for us. I love you all.
