    I am so sorry for your loss Cheryl. It appears that Ryan was a very brave and wonderful person, that was much loved by so many. How wonderful that he always had you by his side, throughout his long battle with such a horrible disease. I am glad that he is at peace now but my heart aches at the thought of such a young life gone. I pray for comfort and peace for you in the coming days and months ahead. God Bless.

    To Cheryl and the Brooks family: I send you my condolences and I am extremely sorry for your loss. I had only met Ryan a few times but I thank you guys for being there for my family and I when my grandfather passed away. He seemed to make you very happy and fulfilled. Im sorry again for your loss…be strong because he is in a better place watching over you. Rest in peace Ryan.



  17. Frank Colquitt on February 4, 2013 at 12:00 am

    To The Brooks Family: I read of your loss, and would like to offer my condolences. I also have lost a member of my family to cancer, and I understand the grief and sorrow that you and your family are feeling at this time. Although words cannot fill the emptiness of your loss, I would like to share with you the promise stated at John 5:28. ‘ All those in the memorial tombs will hear his (JESUS) voice, and come out to a resurrection of life…’ May I assure you, I am not trying to give or change your religion. The pain of loss is felt, regardless of religion. May you be strengthened and comforted by friends and family through this VERY DIFFICULT time.

    Love to you all,
