Sue, Polly, Bob and Nan- I will never forget the fun times at your house making chocolate chip cookies with your Mom. She was so sweet and fun to be around. She always made me feel so welcome, almost like a fifth kid! She is at rest now, with her Lord and Savior, at peace and whole again. She was a beautiful lady and I am blessed for having known her.
With love,
Chaleen

Family of the Late Mrs. Brothers,
I remember your mother very well. I met her at the assisted living facility in Hampton, Va a few years ago. I was her Hospice Social Worker. I will always remember her as a sweet lady. She could make you laugh and it was always a pleasure to visit with her.
I had often thought about her and wondered where she might be. You all have been so supportive of mother and I wish you well.
Be encouraged and blessed.
