Mr. Brooks, when you and your family moved into the neighborhood years and years ago we all grew up Stephon and Alicia and you and Mrs. Brooks treated us like we were your kids, thank you all for being good friends, neighbor and family. We love you Mrs. Brooks and everyone knows how you loved your garden. God bless you.

We've had so many laughs, good times, trips and yes we shed a few tears also. Best memory: Johnny Mathias concert. Here's to you and being on the "Good Foot". Now I can see you in God's garden and Ag don't be trying to rearrange it!
