The Curry family, Evelyn, Jim, and my siblings mourne the loss the Brockman matriarch. The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear.

The man I am today, would be lessened without the memories of the Brockman family, and the role each of you played in my life.

My thoughts are with you.

Dear Friends. Sandy, John, Jim, PK.

Danny Felix passed on the news about your mother passing away on Aug 31st. I have such good memories of her from the 1960's & 70's
when PK & I hung out together so much. I just realized my mother was born June 1922. That's why they seemed so much alike from that generation that gave so much to us all. Our love & prayers to you all.

John, Jim, PK, and Sandy...I am truly sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I remember as a child growing up hearing the names "Jean and Pete Brockman" frequently. My grandparents (Harold and Doris Good) played cards with your parents often. My Mom (Jeannie Good) and her sisters Bobbie and Jill send their condolences as well. God bless you and your families.

To the entire Brockman Family:

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you at this time. I have wonderful memories of Aunt Jean. She was one of my favorite aunts! We spent many wonderful weekends together either in Long Beach or down in Indio. Friday nights were always hamburgers at Pete & Jean's. She was always so gracious when we all converged on her house for the weekend. The adults would spend the weekend playing cards and making sure all of us "cousins" didn't get into too much trouble! I remember the weekend I spent with them when I told Aunt Jean I was falling in love with a wonderful guy (whom I later married). I will never forget our first visit after our son Phillip was born. The first time you go on an outing you tend to take everything but the kitchen sink and I will never forget the look on your Mom's face as we kept unloading the entire trunk of baby gear. I do think she thought we had come to stay for good, rather than just for the weekend! We certainly had a lot of "good times" through the years and those memories will stay with us forever!

We love you Jean,
Scott, Jill & Phillip Brady

I can remember having lots of great lunches at the Brockman pad in high school. Mrs. Brockman,you were so complimentary after a football game, which was very needed before Pete, John and Jim would tear down our performances as weak. Hope so see some of you Brockman's soon.
