Missing you each and every day Brooke, I pray for your family and your friends and you. I cry tears of sadness but I also smile in knowing that you want all of us to be happy and you are keeping watch over us in Heaven. You are forever in our hearts and we will never forget you. Love you

My heart always is with you Staci and Paul. The heartbreak of losing a child does not compare to any other loss, we know it is the ultimate worst. I think of Brooke often and when I go to Pleasant Hill, I sing to her as well as my Son, they there beside. Amazing Grace ❤ In heaven I know they're having a perfect time with each other and all the rest with Jesus. One day we will all be together what a rejocing there will be...

This will be a journey for the rest of all of your lives. To live a different life without Brooke this side of Heaven. There will be up and down waves all the way. Allow yourselves to go through the journey. We will be here for you anytime, just around the corner- down the road. We know it has been a journey for us for the past 9 years, with the loss of our Son and our boys loss of their Big Brother.

Brooke, I had to write you, you are on my mind so much. I see your memorial at the cemetary beside my future one, besidee my Son, C.J.'s. I want to tell you I know you are singing and dancing and being a shining star that shines so bright in Heaven. Just as you were here on earth.Even though I didn't really get to know you personally, only Your Momma and Sisters. I know that we will see each other when GOD calls me home. I pray for your Momma and Daddy and Sisters very often. I want to apoligize to you that I and David haven't gotten to support them in this past year since September like we have wanted to or planned.From Heaven You probably know, we had major back surgeries and haven't been able to go and support and do for your parents as we had planned. But I still wanted to apoligize and let you know when we recover more, we will be supporting your Parents and Sisters and seeing them. Brooke, your Memorial is so precious, just as you are. I miss you, I know your family misses you beyond words. I love you and I Thank You for touching my life through your family. You were taken way to early, and we don't know why. I hope that I can Honor you in my life. I give much love to you, and when GOD calls me home, I know you will be there with my Son, C.J. Thank You Beautiful Girl for touching so many lives in your 15 years. Love and Peace...

In Honor Of Brooke Elizabeth :
IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY
If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why.
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No on will ever know.
But know we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.
Since you’ll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you’ll always stay.
God knows why, with heartfelt touch,
Death gathers those we love so much.
What now seems so strange and dim,
Will all be clear, when we are to
meet Him.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures we have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious to me!

Paul, Staci, Sarah, Carly & Anna, I know this will be a journey, unfortunately we know. We feel cheated that Brooke's time here on earth was cut way to short. This way is not the right order of things, the way we expect to go to Heaven, before our children. I know that our Awesome, Ever Faithful GOD will hold you and carry you in the days, months and years to come, through the hardest loss possible. Know that we as Friends and neighbors will be here to try to help hold you too. You have been in our prayers and hearts constantly. We love you all.

I light this candle in Honor of a most Beautiful Godly Young Lady in the LORD. I Honor You, Brooke, I know that you have touched many lives. People will be forever changed because they knew you on this Earth, Brooke. As someone once told me, I say to your family, " We have only lost a little time in the scope of eternity" We will all be together one day. I know that you are lighting up Heaven and it is richer with you there, but we are poorer here on earth without you. We love you all.

Staci, Paul, Sarah, Carly and Anna, I have no answers why this has happened. If I could turn back the hands of time I would in a a second. I did not want you to join me and my family in the boat of having lost a child and a sibling. I know without doubt that Brooke is in Heaven. She is with our C.J.( Curtis) and I know that they brought us together with the LORD in the neighborhood before this happened. They are together in Heaven and their earthly bodies will be beside each other at the Cemetary. I am so extremely saddened for you. I and my family, my boys and husband will stand with you from now until the end of our time here on earth. It is a journey that knows no boundries. We will walk with you and hold you up to the best of our ability. We love you. Each one of you are such special special people, Brooke is so proud of you and you Honor her with your presence as such GODLY people. We love you, we are praying for you and are here for you.

A Reminiscence
YES, thou art gone! And never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
but I may pass the old church door,
and pace the floor that covers thee.
May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
and think that, frozen, lies below
the lightest heart that I have known,
the kindest I shall ever know.
Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;
To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.
By Anne Bronte
Julie Lariscy & Family
March 23, 2011
The sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now
to someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
to the peace and
comfort of God's love.
It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.

Words cannot comfort the sadness that you are feeling with the loss of such a beautiful young girl. However, assurance that she is heaven with our Lord and Saviour can. What a great testimony Brooke is to her peers! She was a child of God and I am sure she is smiling down from heaven! My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. May God give you comfort in the days to come.

God looked around His garden and He found an empty place. He then looked down upon this earth and He saw Brooke beautiful face. He put His arms around her and lifted her to rest. God's garden must be beautiful He only takes the best. I know it broke your hearts to lose her but she didn't go alone. God sent His flight of Angels, and a part of you went with Brooke the day God called her home. She left you beautiful memories. Her Love will still be your guide. And though you cannot see Brooke, she will always be by your side. Your family chain is broken and nothing will seems the same. But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again. For the Edwards family from Charles Sprinkle Jr. Family with love.

Dearest Brooke,
You were truly a sweet, adorable and pretty young lady. I enjoyed watching you grow,singing with the youth group at church and seeing that you loved the Lord. You played quite a little mommie role caring for your sisters and family but you always had a smile. You always told me I had memaw's hands. Now you can be with memaw and hold her hand. Both of you can rejoice with Jesus. One day we'll see you again! Until then....love and miss you, Cousin Debbie

Brooke Elizabeth Edwards, there is so much I can say about her. We were best friends in fifth grade, we were inseparable. I remember sitting at lunch in fifth grade and she would pray before she ate lunch. We lost touch this year but that doesn't mean we still were not friends. Everyday Brooke had a smile on her face and if you ever had a problem you needed to talk about you could go to Brooke. I can honestly say I'm glad that Brooke has my secrets with her. I love you Brooke Elizabeth Edwards and you will always be in my heart.
