Mr. Brooks, Diane, Kent, Katrina and Trevor,

We were so sorry to open the paper this morning and see that Mrs. Brooks has passed away. We weren’t aware if she has been ill and are just so sad knowing how much she will be missed by all of you. You were a very tight family and it was wonderful for others to see. We are praying for you as you go through this difficult time. It was so obvious how much she loved you all. With our deepest sympathy,

Dave, Paula, Rachel and Ryan Redenius

To the Brooks family, To Diane my friend and Kent and Katrina and Trevor

I only imagine how hard this is for all of you. I know that the last few months have been a difficult time for all of you. I am truly sorry for your loss. I don’t have any great words of wisdom or advice. I always find myself at a loss for words because there is not much to say that will be of any help right now but I want you to know that I will be there if you need a friend. I pray that you all may find peace.

The Brooks family, I was fortune enough to work with Joyce at St.John’s for many many years.Her work ethic was of the highest standards and the love of her family was obvious thru all of her conversations with me. She was a true joy to be around and I will “always” remember her. My sincere sympathy to your family.

Merry
