Dearest Belinda, I was watching TV and heard on the news about Brooke. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I know how proud you were of her back at McConnell Elementary School. Brooke was always happy and a big smile on her face when she attended the After School Program. I remember her and Tiffany Wheeler being best friends, always together. School was important to her back then, so I can imagine how important it became as she turn into a young women. IT looks like she fulfilled allot of her dreams early in life, traveling and enjoying her family life as a well rounded individual could be. She was a very loving person to everyone and I know she will have many rewards in heaven. God called her early I know, but that was his plan in the beginning She was an Angel here on earth and now in heaven watching over you. The memories you have of her are gifts to share with everyone. She made a difference on this earth and will be remembered by allot of people as a caring, loving and unique lady. She will be missed! I am proud that she was a part of my life that I will always cherish! My heart is hurting for you're whole family and I will continue to pray for all of you now and many weeks to come. Belinda, you are a very special person and I know God will help you through this time. Take a deep breath and remember the good times and a smile will come on your face, that will be a Brooke moment You'll have many of these the rest of you're life. I love you and will never forget you're kindness to me. I guess when you think of it Brooke had a great role model, YOU. Remembering you always, Toby
