Pastor brooks is what I called you in church. But you were more than that you were a father to you naive girl who didn't have one. I believe God placed you in life and I'm forever grateful. I was shocked to hear of your passing and didn't get a chance to say goodbye. I left to go to medical school and haven't been able to make it back. However, while away I always remembered you and always spoke of you. I will always keep you in my heart.

to Gwen and family god bless.I will pray for you and family.

See you when I get there Uncle Sonny!

To Gwen & the family, I'm extending my deepest sympathy during this difficult time. Remembering you in prayer.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Friends of Rev. Sam Brooks at the Merrit Bakery & Restaurant, Oakland, and the Joe Chatman Hair Salon, Oakland, wish to express their deepest condolences to the family.... "Hear this one", Rev. Brooks would say with a broad smile as he shared the latest acquisition of an inspiring joke or a challenging play with words with us.... Sam's good natured humour and jovial spirit will be greatly missed...(Habte Asfaha, Oakland)
