To The Family,
It is not easy to say good bye to a love one. No words can take their place, take comfort in knowing that Mr. Brooks had a long and blessed life. Keep your memories close by and in time your hearts will heal. Knowing that he is resting in the Masters arms. No more sickness. My prayers are with you all. May God bless and comfort you during this difficult time.
