My condolences to the family of Emma Brooks. We were neighbors on the lake in front of her farm since 1962. I can remember helping Mr. and Mrs. Brooks when they bailed hay in their fields as a youngster. It was hard and dusty work but your grandmother was right along side of her husband working, along with their German Shepard, Renee, who always followed them along. I also remember she had a miniature horse, named Pony Boy. I was too afraid to ride him as he liked to nip. Mrs. Brooks was a very determined woman, hard worker, and never idle. She was a legend in the neighborhood! My deepest sympathy on her passing.
