I haven´t forgotten about you man ... that will never be possible....for some reason I wasn´t able to access the guest book but it just appeared in my inbox .... 19 yrs ... that´s insane... I can´t even fathom that you´ve been gone that long ... I relive the whole thing like it was yesterday.... I know my daughter is extremely proud to be named after you, she tells everyone about her middle name and where it came from and how great of a person you were to me ... she´ll be 16 this year ... and she wants to go with me when I go visit your gravesite again next year ... I´m coming to visit my PSGs too ... we will have drink on the flip side man ... Until Valhalla Brother ....

He was my section Sergeant when I was stationed in Korea. He was my sponsor for my promotion board. He mentored me and helped me get ready and during my promotion board stood by me. I did so well that when it was over and I earned the maximum points possible, he said "YEAH BOY THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT!". He was so proud that he hugged me as I stood in disbelief and shock of what I accomplished. 17 years and I still remember him in vivid detail. I have a lot to do in this life, however I look forward to seeing him again on the other side when my mission is complete.

Wow here we are again. It is still hard for me to accept that William is no longer on this earthly realm. Life goes on yet how do you forget the memories of a person you touched, you spoke with, and saw how do you get over that. Truth is as a human you don't . I just want to ask your mom how you are doing? I just want to say that your a granddad and I wish you could have seen the birth of your granddaughter and her birthday is in the same month as yours. I wish you could see her and she loves music, dolls, bubbles, writing and she gives the biggest hugs. I know you would want to spend time with her. Mia always says Hi Grandma :) she is so cute and yes I spoil her so does the family. :) I can see the smile on your face. We have a beautiful Granddaughter. God its so hard, please provide comfort to the family.

I miss you more than ever. I wake up everyday and realize I cant see you or I cant visit you and it hurts. I wish we could go back in time and change everything so that you can still be here. I know youre watching over me and youre proud of all my accomplishments. Know you are looking down on me and Ayanna while we make our way through this crazy world. I wish I could just pick up the phone and call you and have regular conversations with you. Why did it have to be your time, when you werent ready? Why does it hurt this bad? 15 years is a very long time but ill see you again daddy. I love you soooooo much.

First thanks to all who serve Past and Present. This includes myself.
Memorial Day 2017
No one will never understand the pain i felt as a young wife 24 yrs. old holding the united Staes flag off of my Husband William Brooks Casket. My heart will always have a piece missing!! How every time i see a U.S. flag, i am reminded of that pain. How i still have his military uniform hanging in my closet and he is never coming home!!
People smiling saying Happy Memorial Day like it's their birthday and they are ready to turn up. It is not about the drinks and the b.b.q. It is those soldiers who lost their lives. MY HUSBAND was one of them. So while you are turning up on today, remember my husband William Jerome Brooks who died in Iraq 2005. Remember his kids who lost their dad. Remember his mom Linda Brooks and her husband Larry who lost their son. Remember their are MORE families like us!! Remember every year while some people planning what they gone B.B.Q. at HOME, we are in TEARS thinking about our love ones who never made it HOME. YOU CAN IGNORE or disrespect my post. But remeber we all die and one day you will lose someone CLOSE to you. So please, When you remember, say a prayer for us and all soldiers who died. And all soldiers who still Serve. Thanks.
I will always love u Will...your wife Roxanne.

Dear Daddy,
I still remember the day I got that call that you were gone and sent to God. On the same day I wished God had taken me instead of you. But I now see that I have to live through you. I think about you everyday, and I smile more and more. I thank you for being my father because if you weren't here I wouldn't be here to write this. Love you with all my heart daddy

I was one of the people that helped process you after your passing. I did not know you as a person but can tell from reading the entries that you were very loved and missed. I still remember how you were when I saw you. I have a hero bracelet with your name on it. I am writing a book on inspirational leadership and have a small piece about you and how you affected me and how your passing, like that of many other soldiers, affects loved ones. If anyone is interested in talking to me about it please feel free to email me. [email protected] My deepest sympathies to the friends and families struggling with the loss.

Dear Jerome, It has been awhile since I've been able to tell you how much I love you. You knew how much I cared, as if you were my own son. We miss you so much, and it still hurts when I am reminded that you are sleeping, but will not awake until judgement day. i long to see you on that day and be reunited as a family and also as God's children. Until that day, I will keep loving you and praying . Love you , always.

I just wanted to let you know, I still love you so very much. I miss you. The only peace I have is seeing Yana face or hearing her voice. She reminds me of you so much. When I see her, I see you.
I will not stop loving you but you and God know that. You were my best friend. My heart hurts knowing that your gone but I know you are my Angel.
I went to Jamacia & New York. I smiled and I thought of you. Well hugs and kisses my love. You always have heart, love you Will. Forever your wife,

Dear SSG Brooks,
I don't know you and have never had the pleasure of meeting you. However, I have had the pleasure of knowing your daughter Ayana since the beginning of our highschool years. Ayana has grown to be like a little sister to be and i truly would never trade her for anything! She's lifted me up when i was down and gives the best advice. I LOVE MY SISTER AYANA to death and dearly send my thanks to you for taking part in her creation! :)<3

Dad
It's me Ayana, your first born. Just want to let you know that i was thinking about you. It hurts me everyday that you're not here, but i gotta know that God took you away for a reason, and that he didn't do it to make any of us mad. I hope you're proud of what a young and responsible young lady I've grown up to be. You going into the military, i know that was so you can take care of me, so that i can have a good future. I remember you used to always call and ask how my grades were, and i would answer... there good, well guess what daddy, my good grades got me all the way to the 12th grade, and i just want you to know i did it for you. My mom once told me that you thought i didnt love you cause i was always so shy to be around you, the truth is i wasnt used to being around you with you being away all the time, if God gave me 1 wish, that wish would be to have you back so that i can spend all the rest of my life being your daughter. by the way dad.... I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW.

SSG Brooks....its been a long time. I still think about how good of an NCO and man you were. I went to Ft Stewart last year on Memorial Day and visited your tree. Left my memorial bracelet there so I'm there with you in spirit. Really wish you were still here. Sure could use some of your wisdom....oh and I almost forgot but when I was at your tree, I saw your wife's maiden name on the plaque. I don't know if it was God telling me to do it or you but when I found out I had a son on the way, and I got to name him, I named him Dominic. Crazy huh? And I never knew her maiden name until then. Well until next time, continue to watch over us.

Hey love, it's funny how people want me too say certain things about you or forget your memory. I will never say what other people want me too say. I will say what i feel. I LOVE YOU. I will never forget you because someone tells me "let it go," its been five years. I do not care if its been 100 years. You loved me according too God word. I have not met a man or person that has done what you have for me. Therefore no one else can take your place. Unless he knows the ture meaning of love or Until he love me the right way, according to the bible, no one can take your place. Some people tell me do not talk about your I death remember the good times only. I can not do that because that means i am forgetting about reality. I should not and will explain my feelings too no one. God knows my heart. I will go on with my life because you want me too but remember Will, you will always have my heart. Happy wedding month. BEFORE I GO...I will ask you this question again, " Why do you like angels so much?" Your response was...." BECAUSE THEY WATCH OVER YOU!!!" Continue too watch over me, love always ...your wife Roxanne D. Brooks

It's that time of year again, but with each year it's a little better. Our Daughter just celebrated her 16th b'day and just as she was about to blow out the candles, I prayed she didn't wish for a car. Ha Ha. Our daughter is at that age but Thank God she is not Boy Crazy yet. She has your eyes but the older she gets the more she is starting to look like her mother. Ha Ha
I wish I could hear your voice again fussing and yelling at me but I knew it was only to make sure Ayana was taken care of. I will admit I am at peace because I do remember what was said to me and eventho we went our separate ways, I'm glad that we never had any real drama our focus was on our daughter and with that the both of us were happy. Thank you Lord for allowing me to share my time with William and giving us Ayana during our stay on this earth. Thank you for bring me into his presence to meet his family and the people he loved. Most of all Lord Thank you for showing me how to treat people while on this earth because I will never know when my last day on earth will be and neither will they. That's why I'm at peace with William's departure from Earth. Thank you Jesus

Dear Jerome, it is another year( 2010) almost 5 years since you died. It seems like yesterday. Memories are still fresh in my mind. As I think of you being such a young , vibrant, strong young man, sometimes my heart aches for just a talk ,or a laugh from you. I love you Jerome, and always will! Our family has not been the same since you and Ged died. We know God does not make any mistakes, but we want you here with us. That cannot be in the physical sense, but your presence is ever present in your children , and your Mother. One day we will meet again; in the Heavens above, we will not talk about wars; or burdens, but only of the good things God did for us! Until we meet again, I love you!!!!!!! Aunt Anne Of Birmingham.
No words can express how much i love and miss my husband.

TO MY HUSBAND WILLIAM JEROME BROOKS ( 1 Corth. 13 "Love") You once dedicated this bible verse to me in return, i dedicated it back to you. When i went to veiw your body I look in the casket at you. I could not see your face. My heart was broken because i pray for you to come home. Instead you did not return. I promised you i would be there when you return. As i looked in your casket, i could not see your face. I then looked at your finger tips so i can reconize you. I knew it was you because you finger tips were round shaped, just as i remember. I thought to myself, "what can i give before i never see you again." I thought what can i say hoping you would hear me one last time. I took my pocket bible opened it to "1 Corth. 13 (love)." I placed it in your hands. I dedicated it to you just as you did to me, when we first met. When i did that, it felt as if you put your arms around me. I COULD FEEL YOU IN THE ROOM AS IF YOU WERE ALIVE. I look at your uniform. I squared away as we say in the army. Which means I(fixed) your name tag and ribbons because even then, you deserved to look your best. My last words to you was " I LOVE YOU AND I WANT TO GIVE YOU MY HEART." I gave you my heart "Will" because God said " Love, is the greatest gift." Until this day "I LOVE YOU." It is painful for me to write because i feel my life is over without you. Even though i just graduated from college and soon i will be a Pharmacy Tech.; MY LIFE IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT YOU. No one can ever take your place. When you died, you took my heart with you. I can never fully love again. No matter who i date, i will always wish we were still together. I wish we could have had our son you always wanted. Your last words to me was "THANK YOU ROXANNE", my reply "Thank you,Will." You was always so happy with me. I will continue to love you. Love " WIFEY"
TO HIS SOLDIERS...MY HUSBAND WAS SO PROUD OF HIS TROOPS. He loved the ARMY AND HIS SOLDIERS. He always said smiling with a loud voice "SCOUTS OUT."
TO HIS DAUGHTERS AND MY STEP DAUGHTERS...WE BOTH LOVE YOU. YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO BOTH OF US.
TO HIS FAMILY...I will always be his WIFE. I will love him forever. I
will carry the Brooks name with pride.
TO HIS FRIENDS AND ALSO MY FRIENDS..THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT AND LOVE. ITS MEANS ALOT THAT MY HUSBAND IS RECONIZED FOR BEING THE HERO SOLDIER HE WAS AND IS UNTIL THIS DAY. AT HIS WAKE I SALUTED HIM. I WAS NO LONGER IN THE ARMY BUT HE DESERVED A SALUTE.
TO ALL..THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT...GOD BLESS YOU ALL. PLEASE CONTINUE TO REMEMBER MY HUISBAND....LOVE " ROXANNE DOMINICK - BROOKS"
