Dear Baldwin Family,
I was so sad to hear about the death of Brooke. I hired Brooke as an assistant in my Preschool special Education class and worked with her for 5 months. She was a great addition to our staff, always keeping things light with her wonderful laugh and smile. She was such an easy-going yet conscientious worker. I am so sorry for your loss. I have thought about her often since I heard of the accident. I pray that you will be comforted in knowing that all of us who worked with her at Lincoln Elementary were blessed to have known her for the short time that she worked with us.

Dear Baldwin Family,
I just recently heard the tragic news of Brooke's car accident. I got to know Brooke during the 2008-09 school year when she was a preschool special education assistant at Lincoln Elementary. As the Speech Therapist working in the classroom, I was able to see Brooke almost daily working with our little preschoolers. She was always positive, optimistic, and willing to do what needed to be done. One of her responsibilities was to work under my supervision with the children who needed help with their articulation. Brooke was very meticulous in carrying out this responsibility and keeping accurate records of it. And at lunch time, she always had a book ready to read if there was time! By the end of the year, Brooke was working 30 hours a week with us and full time at Costco. She had to have been exhausted, but she kept her complaints to herself and admirably finished up the year. Although she had decided not to return in the Fall, it was fun to have her be part of our preschool gang, if only for a year.
I am very sorry for your loss and pray that the Lord will stay with you while your hearts try to mend.

To the Baldwin Family, I am so sorry for your loss. The last time I saw Brooke she stopped in to say Hi,and tell us she missed us. She was smiling, happy and wonderful. Brooke was an angel and we loved her dearly. All of us at Costco share in your grief. She cannot be replaced and will not be forgotten.

Im so sorry for your loss of a great daughter, sister and friend to all who meet Brooke. I can remember with Brooke was in second grade playing coach pitch on my father team with Brittany, Joey, Ashley and other members of the church as the ran around the baseball field with no clue of the game.
