We were blessed to share our grandchildren with Bob and Mary Ann. He always had a smile and a laugh, along with a very good story! He taught his grandchildren values that can only be taught through love and patience. We will miss them both so much, but we will carry this beautiful couple in our hearts forever.
Thank you both!

It has taken me this long to even have even begin to type this entry, wishing that I would not of had to then I would still have him here to call. Love Bob not only as a cousin but a brother. We shared so many things especially over the last 8 years while Mary Ann was sick. I will truly miss our Sunday calls. Boys you have truly been blessed by having them as YOUR parents. What a true LOVE story they shared. Thanks Bob and Mary Ann for being such a wonderful example of what marriage is all...

Please accept our heartfelt condolances. While I don't recall the last time I saw Bob or Mary Ann, my brothers spoke very highly of them for many years. I know Dan and Tom are very saddened by their passing.
Please consider this phrase that has brought us comfort: How do we know until we awaken that our dreams are not real. Then how do we know until we die that death is not the utmost of experiences.
Peace be with you.

As you all know, Bob and Mary Ann were like family to me - we knew each other for over half a Century!! I am missing them both and still can not imagine not sitting in their garage and sharing moments with them. What wonderful people they were and what a grand legagy they have left in all of you. My heart aches for each of you as you struggle to cope with all this.

I've known Bob since 5th grade when I moved to Manitou. He was always such a gentle spirit. What a horrendous time for the Brooks family but what wonderful memories you each have to keep you going. My deepest sympathies. Karen Kimler Crews (Colo. Spgs.)
