I will always remember my “Mrs. Brookman”, as she was a significant part of my life as a child growing-up, to this day I still think about her and her kindness. God bless to a dear neighbor.
My deepest sympathies to her family.

Mother Brookman is resting in Jesus' land now and we must keep buzy as she would want us to do. I am trying to remember all her lessons she taught me. Our deepest sympathy to all the family!
