February 24, 2011
To the Coats,
I am so deeply sorry to hear the tragic news about your daughter, Brooke. My heart goes out you for your precious loss. When we lose someone we love, especially a child, it is one of the most devastating experiences a human can face. The feeling at times maybe overwhelming, almost unbearable.
But, remembering all the wonderful fun years together can help to comfort you in your pain. And most of all, may the God of Love, who comforts us all with His promise of Hope for the future. Hope will not take away your pain, but it will enable you to endure it, each day!
"And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will sickness nor suffering nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. And the One seated on the throne said; "Look! I am making ALL THINGS NEW......."

Hold tight to memories for comfort.
Lean on your friends for strength, and always remember how much you all are cared about. As you comprehend this profound loss of your beautiful daughter, let yourself cry knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heavens. Like a bird singing in the rain, let grateful memories survive in time of sorrow. Our thoughts are with you. Peace, prayers and blessings to the entire Coats Family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I have watched Brooke ride on many occasions as my son also rides.
As I live the Cowboy way,
Protection is what i pray,
I don't know my fate,
Outside the gate,
If my ride sees trouble,
Send angels on the double,
For in you lord I rest
Let my life pass your test,
By pure grace I'm saved
Lord, ride with me for your way
is paved.
That's the cowboy way'
and what bullriders pray.
