Mr. Brooks and Family
Be at peace as you loved one is. Know that while tears fall in the night joy does arrive in the morning and that God makes no mistakes. Remember his sayings, the special good mornings, his favorite hymn and all the love he had for his family. God Bless.

To the Brooks family;
Our families have known each other for 50 years. It is with great saddness that I express sympathy from the entire Smith family from 39th street. Your father was a wise,generous, God fearing man, that truly loved his family, friends, church, and neighbors. Mr. Brooks always had a kind and sometimes humorous word to say. He will be forever missed. Look to God for strength as your dad taught you. Love..The Smith's
