I had the privilege of meeting Mrs. Brooks several years ago as I delivered her Meds to her. Each time I did it was a cherished moment for me, i was always greeted with her beautiful smile and her big hug, as time went on, she would call me "her adopted son" I cried when I heard of her passing. Without doubt I know where she´s at now I´ll call her "my angle in heaven". Like so many others they will also. Mrs. Brooks rest in total peace you´re in heaven now with God and your Robert. I´ll miss you.
Mike, your Med. delivery person from Dillons

I spent a season of my life in a ladies Bible study with Nancy and can testify that she was one of the sweetest women I have ever known. I know she is in the arms of Jesus. Betty Wichert

I worked with both Nancy and Robert (and their sons) at Mike's IGA. They were great people to work for. I'm thinking of you during this difficult time.
