Danita Gayle Bishop Brooks

Juanita, Vernon, Diane, Deb and Donna,
I just received this sad news in a letter from Diana Wright White. Many of my fondest memories are of spending the night at your home and feeling like one of your family. My love and prayers are with you all.

I KNOW IT WASN'T EASY,BUT YOU LOVED US ALL THE SAME.
I REALIZE JUST HOW HARD IT REALLY MUST HAVE BEEN,TO
BEGIN A WHOLE NEW LIFE AND TO HELP US FIT IN.
I REALLY WISH WE HAD MORE TIME TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER MORE,BUT JESUS HAD OTHERS PLANS FOR YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE,AND IT SEEMS LIKE DAD (ROBERT) WAS COMING BACK TO LIFE AND HAPPY AGAIN SINCE LOSING MOM (LOUISE IN MAY 21 2006).IT WAS UNFAIR THAT YOU WAS TAKEN AWAY ON DECEMBER 19 2008,THEN DAD ON DECEMBER 26 2008.BUT WE HAD JUST...

VERNON,JUANITA, DIANE ,DEB AND DONNA;


I AM SO VERY, VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT DANITA.I LOVE ALL OF YOU AND CANNOT BELIEVE SHE IS GONE. I KNOW WE HAVEN'T SEEN EACH OTHER FOR AWHILE.BUT WE WERE LIKE SISTERS AND THAT NEVER CHANGES .I WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR EACH OF YOU HAD I KNOWN .I WISH I COULD HELP YOU THROUGH THIS PAINFUL TIME.I WILL PRAY FOR EACH OF YOU AND DANITAS HUSBAND AND HIS FAMILY. ALL OF THE BISHOPS ARE LIKE FAMILY TO US WE HAVE BEEN...

Vernon and Juanita:
I am so sorry to hear about Danita and didn't know until Christmas day. Cindy told us she had been in an accident but that's all anyone knew. We have known and respected the Bishop family for so long that they seem like family to us and had we known we would have been there for what little comfort and support we could have provided. We will miss her and keep your family and her in our prayers, God bless.

Well, where do I begin? I'm still in shock over this terrible loss. I know that God has a reason for everything He does, and I suppose it will be revealed in His time. For now, though, I'm terribly heartbroken over our loss. Danita called me her "baby girl" and she was a great friend and mothering figure to me. In fact, I always hoped one day to be her step-daughter. I am so sorry for her family and praying for them in this difficult time. I love you Danita, and I hope to see you in Heaven...

Robert, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your wife. I didn't know her, but I am sure she was a great lady. She is in heaven and making it a more beautiful place. Just put your heart in God's hands and he will take care of you and your family. Death is a very difficult thing, but God knows all of the reasons our lives go the way they do. If there is anything that I can do for any of you, just give me a shout. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts and my prayers.

I only met Danita a couple of times and she was very nice. My thoughts and prayers are with Robert, all her family and friends. I am so sorry for your loss Robert.

I only met Danita 1 time but she seemed to be a beautiful person. My cousin, Robert was very happy with her and we are so sorry for your loss.At times like this, we are made aware how fragile life is...and how quickly death comes.
