Betty, So nice that you were able to go to the class reunion recently. Class reunions bring to mind memories of our George. A good man and friend. I miss my classmate! Wish I could have been at the reunion - spent some time with you. We are only a few miles apart but it may as well be a thousand. So difficult to connect these 2 parts of the world.Oh well - what's a thousand miles between friends? Love Barbara

Betty, it was wonderful seeing you recently at the grocery store. There are no coinsidences so we were supposed to meet and renew friendships. Of course, I can't see you without having a mind and heart renewal of a lost friend, our wonderful and unique George. May God keep our memories of him vibrant and alive and may God give George peace. Love you, Barbara

George and i became frields in school at Berea. We played baseball
on the high school team. During a game with Oak Hill George found
out that i would not let any one pick on him. After being away for many years, we met again at a class reunion and He let me know that he never forgot what i did.

My papa

February 18, 2012

George Brooks was more than my grandfather he was someone I considered to be a friend. Papa had his way of showing every one of his friends and family that he cared about each and every one of us. I remember so many good things about my grandfather. He used to always make biscuits with grandma every morning before I had to get on the school bus, he loved my bus drivers and loved making people smile. I love my grandfather more than people know.Papa used to pick me up from school when I was sick sometimes and most of the time he knew I wasn't sick, he'd ask and ask me to tell him but when I did he always kept his promise to not tell my daddy. I remember riding in his old truck to town, all of us meeting at mcdonalds for biscuits and him just being apart of our lives. Even though we may have had our ups and downs he will always be apart of me and someone I will never forget. He was a great man and is truly missed. He was such a good grandpa he had a special bond to each of his granchildren and we all will miss him but will rejoice the time we have had the chance to spend with him and keep the positive in mind. I love you papa and you will never be forgotten! Rest in peace. We will all meet again when the good lord is ready.

Love you always!
