Dear Bailey and Family --
I received notice this morning that the guest book for writing to you and Tammy will be taken off line soon. I just wanted to take a moment and tell you that she will never be taken "off line" in the hearts of so many Brooks Family members of both JD's family and my family. I can only imagine how deeply you, your Dad and Aunt Kathy miss our wonderful and beautiful Tammy. I know that I miss her terribly and every time I walk by her office at Falling Water, a million memories of wonderful thoughts of your Mom spring into my mind. Your Mom was a great lady of business and her hand is surely needed here now, but her friendship to all the folks that she befriended is what is missed most. I just cannot tell you how many times during this past year that my brother, Ben, my son, Jimmy, and my wife, Len, and I have talked about how we were blessed to have Tammy as part of our lives. We miss her terribly right along with you and the rest of her family. If there is every anything that I can do, or my family can do, to help you and your family, please do not ever hesitate getting in touch with me, Jimmy or Ben. Your Dad will always know how to get in touch with us. We look forward to seeing you grow into the absolutely stunning young lady that we know you will become. You, your Mom, your Dad and Aunt Kathy will always be dear to us. Your Mom fought the good fight and I know that she will always be watching over you and all of her friends...until we meet her again.
All our love, Walt & Len and sons
All our love, Ben & Celia and children. February 1, 2008

John & Bailey,
I am Kelley Boatwright's sister, and I know how much Tammy meant to her (just like a sister). I am so saddened to hear of her loss the other day. I am sure your family as well as Kelley will be lost, but will rejoice with Tammy one day. Memories are called memories for a reason. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

I am so sorry for your loss. I met Tammy in the sixth grade and she was always a special person that others were drawn to. I was happy to see her at our football reunion and I had no idea that she was suffering. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

John & Bailey & Kathy -- Mere words cannot express our sorrow in the passing of Tammy. She was truly one of the most sweet and wonderful ladies that we have ever had the pleasure to be freinds with and to work with. I remember first meeting Tammy and seeing her in short-shorts when she was a teenager and Kathy was dating a fellow GBI Agent. I vividly remember thinking what a beautiful and smart young lady she will be as she grows older. She grew into being a beautiful and wonderful wife and mother and friend to so many people including Ben and myself. Her work at Falling Water and Phoenix with JD and Elaina proved to be the tape that made so many business decisions the success which the companies have enjoyed. She will be dearly missed, but not forgotten for we will always love her so very much. God Bless you all.
All our love, Walt & Len and Jimmy, Christopher Patrick and Nicholas Brooks of Lawrenceville
All our love, Ben & Celia and Jeremy, Cecil and Ellie of Cornelia
