About 15 years ago I was a fairly new employee at Cillis Car Care compared to those that I worked with. I helped Cillis begin their bodyshop. It was the best place I ever worked. I showed up each morning until my health started going downhill. Not knowing what was wrong, I continued to show up for work. One morning Greg and Randy insisted that I see my doctor. I was finally admitted into Conroe Hospital. Their concern over my health was the kick in the pants that I needed. The drugs that I helped me survive the staph infection caused my heart failure a few months later & I became disabled. Greg and Randy stood by me and my family the entire time. My thoughts and prayers are with the Cillis Family.

Dear Cillis family,
We are so sorry for your loss, may God comfort and bless you.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

When I remember those who lead and someday we will follow I think of the words of this song. Precious memries, unseen angels, Sent from somewhere to my soul; How they linger ever near me, And the sacred past unfold. Precious memries how they linger, How they ever flood my soul. In the stillness of the midnight, Precious sacred scenes unfold.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Steve, Dianne and Heather Brooks
