To the Brooks family, I worked with Matt at Collington Services. He was always very pleasant and mild mannered. He always made sure I did my report correct and always gave a smile to everyone that crossed his path. I thank God for Matthew's example of being more than a good supervisor but a great friend to many. May the love of Jesus Christ continue to surround and uphold you throug this time. God Bless & Keep You All!

To the Brooks Family:

II Timothy 4:7,8
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing."

I'd like to express my sincere sympathy of the loss of your son and father to Matthew and Tiffany. My heart goes out to you all. I know Matthew was loved by so many. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Once again, my deepest sympathy is with you right now.
