Just wanted you to know that you and Imani and the Yorker family will forever be in our hearts and prayers. I know you know the Lord will fix it for you. Keep your hands in his hands and he'll see you through this. We will never forget Brock's visits to our home whenever you were in town. He was such a friendly person with a good spirit.

Cynthia and Imani,
Please know that Brock touched the hearts of our family in Virginia from the first time we met him many years ago. He was a wonderful person, and had a personality that others long for. Please know that we love you and will keep you in our prayers always. We hope that you will find comfort in God's promise to never put more on us than we can bear. He is truly, The Keeper.
Love Always,

My heart and deepest sympathy goes out to the Yorker family. I had the privillege of meeting Brock, when he visited his family in NJ, on only 2 occasions; but what an impression he made! He was such a gentle spirit. A special man like that will be missed by his family, and his community. May God bless the family and friends that will carry on his memory.

When I learned of your husband's/ father's death, my heart sank. We had the pleasure of meeting him and his family @ Imani's birthday parties. I will continue to keep both families in my prayers. Remember, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" Matthew 5.4. Your friends from P.E.Williams Elementary School.

Shirley,
I just wanted you to know I(and my family) have been praying for you and your family since Ellise told me about Brock's accident. I never met him, but knowing you has allowed me to know that Brock had to be a wonderful person. I know this loss is painful, but be comforted in time by God's presence in your life and the blessings of friends and family. God bless you always.

Cynthia,
I want to extend my heartfelt sympathy to Imani and you. I never met Brock, but I could tell in one conversation I had with you how much your marriage and family were to you. When you and I were on travel for work in Arizona and we were at the “the ranch” for dinner, we talked about your daughter and husband back home and how they were fairing without you. It was obvious at that moment where your heart was and how much they meant to you. I know you will miss Brock more than words can say. Your daughter and you are in my prayers.

To Shirley/Cynthia and the entire Brock family.
My heart goes out to you during this time of saddness. My family and I will continue to keep you and your family in much prayer. For prayer truly changes things.
"I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night."
God is our refuge and strength, and ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.
Psalm 46: 1-2
Shirley, if you need anything or someone to just talk to, please don't hesitate to call. Take your time to heal and all will be well.
Love you, Valerie

Cynthia and Imani, my heart goes out to you both in the loss of your husband and father. I did not know Brock that well. But one thing certainly sticks out in my mind about him that I will never forget. It was just before the hurricane, my husband met Brock at one of the HOA meetings, and they immediately became fast friends. He would often stop by and visit if he saw William messing around in the garage or in the yard.
When the hurricane came and knocked the power out in the entire PG County area, Brock and some other neighbors came over to see how they could help. Brock helped bail 5-6" of water out of our flooded basement, before another neighbor could hook up our sump pump to his generator. We all were friends for life after that.
I wish my family and I could have known Brock better. But what we do know about him, makes us better people having known him. He was a beautiful person and he will truly be missed!
William, LaDonnia, and I are here for you if you need us, and certainly God is and will always be there. He will carry you through!

Cynthia, Imani, and family, I would like to express my deepest sympathy in the loss of Brock (husband, father, son, brother, and etc). Although I did not know Brock, there was always a sense of welcome during his presence or from a simple telephone call. Brock had a friendly spirit. I'm sure his spirit will continue to live within your hearts. May GOD continue to bless and comfort all that loved him.

After 30 years, we were reunited. I was so proud to meet your wife and daughter and to be referred to as family. I was so surprised to see how much you towered over me when we hugged. Lil Pookie...I will miss you. I will be only a phone call away from Cynthia,Imani and your mom.
Your body may have been tired and bruised, but your heart was full of love and joy. Years from now, we will still speak of Pookie. Pookie the pillar of strength...just like the pillars/columns you installed in your home.
Rest in your Heavenly Father's arms. Enjoy your new eternal home with your father-in-law and others that are probably showing you around and waiting to give you your new assignment of installing more pillars of strength.
Love,
aunt/Ms Gwen

Cynthia, Imani and family, my heart and my prayers go out to you. Please know that I am your friend and that I will be there for you weeks, months... from now. I'm just a phone call away...or a walk around the block. More importantly, God is there for you. My Imani is sad that she can't be here for her friend Imani and for the service. She and Preston send their love from Chicago.
God bless you.

The hardest thing in the world is to loose a brother like you Brock. There were so many things you taught me about life and myself in the years of our friendship..including making me a better motorcyclist. We had alot of wonderful times and shared alot of riding together and open road. You were very special to me and no one can ever fill your shoes as my brother and my riding partner and my friend. I will miss you a great deal and I will always look over my shoulder, knowing when I ride, you'll be riding with me too. I love you Bro!

Brock is a great brother and loving husband & father. He will be missed by all who Knew him. On the day of his accident when I last spoke to Brock the topic of conversation was family (Imani and Cynthia) and his love for them both and the life that they had made together. He was making arrangements to take Imani to see the fireworks for the 4th of July. Brock stated that "the older Imani get's the more time she likes to spend with her daddy." I will miss you Brock and I know you will be keeping a safe, loving eye on us all. To Cynthia and Imani, I am truly sorry that you are being made to deal with such pain. I love you both and promise to keep you close to me and mine for ever.
