Brooks Family,
I am so sorry about your loss. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers this weekend.
To the Brooks Family,
She was like a member of the Dobbs Family and she will be greatly missed. I will save a place for her at my dinner table.
With all my love, Shirley
John and Jeff,
I am very sad to hear of your loss. I have many happy memories of time spent at your house and of your mother’s kindness to me when we were kids. Only a few months ago I saw your mother for the first time in many years and she spoke with pride and love of you and your families. You’re in my prayers.
Dear Brooks Family,
I am grateful to have known Jan. She was a wonderful friend and neighbor who always had time for others. I loved her smile.
Her family took center stage at all times, and she was a wonderful parent.
Prayers and best wishes,
Milam
Dear Family:
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Mrs. Brooks will be missed . . . and fondly remembered.
