Message: Cheryl, John and Joy, I share your lost as I became close to my cousin Brooks in the last few years. I will miss his calls, to check on me to see how I was doing. He was unselfish and never thought of himself, but always put others before himself. Know that he is at peace and is present with the Lord. Love you much. Marianne
