| Although I think so often of the days before and after Brooke's accident, only the confusion remains constant. Confused about why beautiful and unselfish Brooke had to be taken so young. Why so sudden? As unfair as it seems-and so very painful for all who knew and love Brooke-knowing that someday we'll all be joyfully reunited and together forever...I hope this helps bring a little comfort to all who are reading this now. Brooke has a loving and special place in all of our hearts, and so many more. Let that help get us through each second of every day that tears overcome us in her remembrance! Sweet Brooke will never be forgotten and always loved. To Aunt Carol: The strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws -Barbara Kingsolver It must be this strength that shows in your wonderful smile. I love you and wish you comfort. All my love, always, Brandy |

| Remembrance Remembrance is a golden chain Death tries to break, but all in vain. To have, to love, and then to part Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart. The years may wipe out many things But some they wipe out never. Like memories of those happy times When we were all together. Author Unknown |
