Dear Family, I was deeply saddened to learn about Brooke’s passing. She was a lovely girl and as far back as I can remember, a wonderful sister to Ashley. As one of her former teachers, I recall her being very close to her sister Ashley. She would seek her out during recess just to check in and say hi. She was always sweet and caring to her classmates. Brooke will always be in our hearts. God Bless, Mrs. Kathleen Huntington
Theresa and family… I heard of beautiful Brooke’s passing and wanted to extend my sincerest thoughts during this time. Although we only knew each other briefly, her smile, her eyes, her talent, and her true inner heart are the highlights I will remember. Theresa, I am just so so terribly sorry. I pray for you, and I pray for Brooke as she begins her journey in this next chapter for her. Sending love to you Theresa.
Dear Gary and family,
