I had just been thinking about Broderick a few days ago. My Mama's youngest brother married his Cousin, and this was how we met the for the first times as children. We all instantly connected. So, every chance we got as children we saw each other. Whether it was weekends or anytime we were not in school. Then me him Chris, Keshunda, and Raymond would spend so much time on the phone. When I was in Baker, we would make time for each other. Sometimes, just all being together in the same house or wherever. The bond that we all shared at one point was beyond words.

With deepest sympathy to the Brooks Family. Truly a shock and still seems unreal. Big bro as I called you, you will be missed. I was supposed to come heae you sing, play, and preach your first sermon, but God wanted that first one to filled with heavenly love. No one can fill your shoes based on the type of person you were. My prayers go out to your kids and wife Krischell. If there is anything I can do whether its a talk, laugh, or someone to vent to I Dont mind. I live all of y'all as if y'all are my family.

You had a beautiful home going and we all know that you were there in the building im sure it was everything you expected. Rest in peace.
