Not sure what to say?

I know I said this a thousand times but I am not sure yall have heard it, your Mom and Dad are a part of the best of my childhood memories. At the ranch, the box car, swimming with manatees, swimming at the house in the river, days on the beach, fishing and the stories. I loved the way they loved to have fun and yet enjoyed the simple things. They have tought me so much. I love them both so much and will miss them.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. I know how much...

Hank,Roy, Sharon and Bonnie and families,

Our prayers and sympathy are with you. Your Dad was always good to our family - he was good neighbor, friend and colleague. As my Dad used to say - we lost one of the "Good Guys".

I recall one true story - our families had gome out to eat dinner together and we dropped the Brooks off at their house and returned to ours ( few doors down the street). We discovered someone had broken in our house. My parents called Palmer and he was...

DearHank,
I am so sorry about the loss of your Dad. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers every minute.
I love you as much as any Brother-in-law could be loved. God bless and keep you, Sharon

Our thoughts and prayers go with you in your grief. We knew Palmer as a choir member at FHUMC sing in his wonderful tenor voice, as a vet. to our dogs and cat, and most of all as a friend.

Dr. Brooks was just simply the best at what he did. What a wonderful man. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Thank you Roy for the things you have done for my parents. Carrying on the wonderful quality of care that your father started so many years ago.

We always took our cats and dogs to Dr. Brooks. And over the years, there were many. He was a very kind and caring man. Our prayers are with his Family .

Dr. Brooks took care of my dog when I was a child. My dog was dying of a blood disease and I thought Dr. Brooks had put her to sleep. What he did though was give her a blood transfusion. A few weeks after "being put down" my parents told me she was alive and would be coming home. She lived another two years after that. Dr. Brooks was a very special man.
Both of my parents passed away within the last 7 months so I know how hard this time is on you all, having barely had time to mourn the...

Who ever said that a mullet can't be caught on a hook, had never attended The Palmer Brooks River Fishing School! Your dear daddy showed me how to cloud the cold, clear waters of the Homasassa with his special 'the secret's in the sauce' fish chum, bait my little hook with a smiggen of white, plastic worm and lower the line in amongst the gathering school of hungry mullet. It was great fun to haul in one fish after another, each wearing a most surprised expression. The loaded bucket would...

Dearest Sharon, Hank, Bonnie and Roy,

We understand how hard it is to lose your Dad. But we know he is re-united with his beloved Barbara.
We are praying that you will find comfort in God's love during this difficult time.
We loved your Dad and Mom very much and will miss them. But we will remember the fun times we had together.
May God bless you all,
love Ted and Liesel
