To the Brooks family. My deepest sympathy goes to the entire family. Ms. Brooks was a "spunky" lady and I enjoyed the few times I spent with her. May God Bless all of you.

To the Brooks family,
I will miss her sweet smile and warm presence as I'm sure you all have very fond memories of her also. Keep those memories close, they'll get you through the difficult times. Remember, (Psalm 34:18) The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Keep Him close when you're in need. We are praying for your strength and sending our deepest condolences.
