I just learned of this tragedy today. I had heard of the accident but did not realize that it was your precious Brooke. This is a loss that no grandparent or parent should ever have to go through. My heart breaks for you. I hope that you are finding comfort in this time. May God bless you and hold you.

It's been several years but, we will always remember the fun that Brooke and the girls had both on and off of the soccer pitch. She helped make one of the "Hilliard Girls" feel welcome and part of the team. She will be missed. Prayers of comfort to you. Mike, Donna, Cassie, Alex, and Matthew Hansford

My memories of Brooke are mainly as a young girl on the soccer field, pony tail flying and letting no one past her. Her picture shows she grew into a lovely young woman and it's clear how much she is loved. I hope you take comfort and find peace in knowing how much she meant to so many people.

where to start? First time i met you, we clicked. we went to the movies a number of times and we were always getting dirty looks for laughing at the wrong times. I regret not seeing you recently. Please watch over us as you fly high. At least I know when I see you again, heaven will be that much brighter with that gorgeous smile.

Brooke, I did not know you very well, but from what I know is, you were a great gorgeous girl. Your smile could light up a whole room. You are missed by everyone and loved by every one. My mom was just telling me the other day how she would only go to the gas station you worked at because you always made her smile and laugh. Its upsetting knowing that I never got the chance to really get to know you. I know if I did I would love you. R.I.P. BROOKE. Fly high baby girl <3

Life's Losses
Our greatest losses in life
Are loved ones, who've passed on
Always hard to handle
But harder when the order is wrong
The pain of losing a lifetime mate
Is a crushing blow, at the least,
A terrible ache that won't dissipate,
That buckles the heart as the knees
BUT WHAT GREATER LOSS FOR PARENTS
THAN A CHILD BORN OF THEIR FLESH
CUT OFF AN ARM-CUT OUT A HEART
SUCH PAIN WOULD SURELY BE LESS
Many times I've heard it said
And I think it must be so.
The greater the pain that one sustains
The closer to God one grows
No child, no parent, no mate,
Whoever has loved and been loved,
Can be as close to those who love him
As to his God who loves from above
Assured of reunion in heaven,
And with peace now residing within
One can handle such separation,
As a closer union with God begins

"I took another walk around the neighborhood and realized that on this earth as it is-the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong,nor the satisfaction to the wise, nor riches to the smart, nor grace to the learned. Sooner or later time and chance hits us all. No one can predict misfortune. Like fish caught in a cruel net or birds in a trap. So men and women are caught by accidents evil and sudden."
Eclesiastes 9:11-12
We were so sorry to hear of your loss and our thoughts and prayers go to you and your family. May her memory be eternal.
