Brooke was a very precious child. Her life here with us was way too short, and she was a joy to all that knew her. I am very honored to have been her grandmother, she was the greatest gift that God could have given me, my life will forever be touched by the existance of her. She will forever live in my heart. Brooke can now fly with the angels, and watch us from above, make her proud! Love Mamma

I don't know you or your family, but I felt the need to offer my spiritual support at the time of your Angels calling. Life is so mysterious, but as you know it can be cut short in an instant. Our lives are already set from the time we are conceived. And only our Lord knows our future. I pray that you are at peace knowing your baby girl is with Him and will be watching over you until you join her someday. From her picture I can tell she was a blessing and loved very much... My Mom is in heaven also and never got to see my second daughter, who is now 18. I know she is watching over me and all the little Angels our Lord has called home. Don't worry she is in the best place ever... until we all get there you'll have to devote your time to her short life's memories and keep her memory alive for her siblings. God Bless you all and peace be with you now and forever..........In Jesus name........Amen

Dearest Nicole, Family of Jerry, Nick, Jeanette, Gary, Vinnie, Grandparents and all those who knew of this beautiful innocent child If I may of forgot someone, believe me it was not intentional. May God bless you and keep you together in this time of terrible tragedy and need. No words that could be said will never erase what happened that day. If nothing else, those of us who attended this precious beautiful little girl's service should take with us that life is a very precious thing, and we should not take it for granted. I myself am guilty like thousands of other people. It's always rough loosing a loved one, but when it's an innocent child it tears straight to the heart. This is something that you all will never erase out of your minds, but be strong because that would be what Brooke would want if she could express it herself. Also remember that one day we will meet with her again when the Lord comes to take us home. The bible and folks say that the Lord never gives us any more than we can handle, but like Nicole said to me; "He's certainly testing me now". I observed on Sat that everyone was very respectful and courteoous and loving, and that's a beautiful thing. The service was beautiful, and sad at times, but I was certainly proud to be an attendant. The balloon release was one of the most beautiful, precious, and sad occurences that I observed. May Peace be with you all, And again May God Bless and give you the strength to eventually accept what has happened...

What a Beautiful Child! Sorry for her passing. Grief can bring many emotions, sleepless nights, sleep too much, eat nothing, eat too much, tears fall whenever and wherever you maybe, waves of feelings. The heartwrenching pain reaching so deep you think you will die. Life will not be the same, changed forever! I do know only from my experience that one day when you are ready God will allow you to see and feel something change, not forgetting your child,but somehow as you have walked through the grief , allowing you to heal, Yes it will change but not leave your heart. Please accept my condolences. A Former New Yorker, upstate

She was such a good quiet little girl. She is with God now, He will take care of her. Remember all the happy times you shared with her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Rhiannas "UMBRELLA" song, One of Brookes favorite songs!!
Ahuh Ahuh
No clouds in my storms
Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank
Coming down with the Dow Jones
When the clouds come we gone, we Rocafella
She fly higher than weather
And G5?s are better, You know me,
an anticipation, for precipitation. Stacked chips for the rainy day
Jay, Rain Man is back with little Ms. Sunshine
Rihanna where you at?
Rihanna
You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because
Chorus
When the sun shines, we?ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh
These fancy things, will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for Infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because
Chorus
When the sun shines, we?ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh
You can run into my arms
It's okay don't be alarmed
Come into me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because
Chorus
When the sun shines, we?ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh

Dearest Nicole and Jeanette,&Nick
I have been in these shoes before and I don't think you can ever get over it and you have to go through the grieving process or you just can't get threw it cry when you feel like it and let it out or it will mess you up. Remember all the wonderful things she did even if they were naughty they are still ever so precious. There is always a reason even if we don't know what it is. God wanted her up in heaven to be with Joyce and Jean and Garrett. Who knows maybe Garrett needed a playmate. When she went to heaven she went straight into Jesus's arms and she felt more love on that day than any of us could have ever given her. She was a wonderful precious gift to all of us even though it was a short time. I do hope you checked the clouds cause she is drawing you pretty pictures. I never got to hold her or love her in person but I loved her very much just because of the things I was told about her and I could look at her pictures and tell she was the most perfect little angel. I Know it is so hard to let her go but you will see she will get the balloons they will go straight up to her and out of sight. She is in Gods arms now and there is no greater love. I am well aware of how you guys feel but you have to keep going even though sometimes you think you can't you must. She wouldn't want to see you guys grieving to long cause she is very happy now where she is and she wants you guys to be the same.I love you all and wish I could be there with you. Call me if you want someone to talk too. 850-477-6695

Jeanette.
I know how very much you loved Brooke and you would rather it be you there than her but God wasnt ready for you or Nicole there is more in store for your lives and turn to Nicole and tell her you love her even though you both know this you have to hold onto each other threw this hard time. It takes all the strength you can muster just to get thru the days but it is important to Brooke that you guys work together and get thru this. I do love you guys and hope you go thru the process together if you need to talk call me. Love Sandi

I know that we did not know you or Brooke for very long or very well, but what we knew, we liked.
Aunt Mary sends her condolences to you and to your family.
Brooke was such a sweetie. I think she was just starting to warm up to me when circumstances changed, but I remember the last time I talked to you guys on Main St in Johnstown. You and I were discussing something and Brooke was playing peek-a-boo with me. Up until then she just smiled her hello whenever I saw her. That was the night that she sat on your lap playing with the steering wheel and I leaned on the car so that we could talk. When I asked her if she was trying to run me over, she just smiled. I said, "You wouldn't run me over, would you, sweetie?" And she answered, with the sweetest smile, "Sure I would".
I wish a lot of things. That this hadn't happened. That things had been different in the recent past. Most of all, I wish you the strength to get through this. It takes time. It may not seem like it now, but the pain eases eventually, although not completely. We lost my brother at age 12 almost 50 years ago. My mother never recovered completely. But she said that life goes on and that she had to go on too. I wish her strength for you.

Children Who Die Are Not Really Alone!
Children who die are not really gone,
But go to a place that is something like home,
Where they sleep the deep sleep, as quiet as stone,
Until we can join them when our lives are done.
Children who die are not really dead,
But just like good children tucked into bed,
Wait the long wait while we go ahead
Till our tales are all told and our tears are all shed.
Children who die feel no pleasure or pain
In the place where they wait till they see us again,
And all of us dance in a world washed with rain
Where the sun shines so brightly no sorrows remain

Dear Jeanette
At times there are no answers
No place that you can turn
All that you have hoped for
And lessons yet to learn
Life is full of irony
When hope you need it most
It seems at times the universe
Is not a welcome host
It?s at these times we wonder
What game has brought us here
Reaching out for answers
And finding no one near
Acceptance helps bring closure
And clarity of sight
It?s then you receive answers
That helps you sleep at night
