Mrs. Brookings guided her life with love. She was a mother doing what mothers do...mothering! We felt she was a true example of a mother to all of us. Each morning we were greeted with a cheerful good morning, a twinkle in her eye and the aroma of her breakfast toast. She always made us feel welcomed. And, each one of us was left with a warm feeling inside. Mrs. Brookings was very special and she loved us all. Mrs. Brookings was always very good at the little things. For instance: asking each one of us how our day was going, making sure there was plenty of ice on-hand at lunchtime, reminding us to stop and smell the flowers, pointing out that if one breathed on plants it would help them grow, proudly displaying a Christmas flower centerpiece in the kitchen each year which was given by the Crotty Family and reminding us to be kind to our awesome patients. Mrs. Brookings said "beauty is free and it is everywhere one looks." She was an amazing artist. Her exquisite oil paintings are displayed throughout the dental office. Upon entering the dental office, one can see the beauty of life exhibited by her oil paintings. The mantel is covered with portraits of her family. There is beauty in her paintings, too... paintings of her children skiing, paintings of flowers from her garden she loved. One can even see the beauty in one of her oil paintings of a tree during autumn. On a final note, we will miss how Mrs. Brookings always had a hearty, warm hug, a caring smile and nightly goodbye waves from the next room. We have been blessed to know such a special person. She was our example of faith, hope, love and beauty. It's the circle of life and it moves us all through faith and love till we find our place on the path unwinding - Elton John, The Lion King With deepest sympathy, Nancy, Lori, Lynn, Ginnie, Debbie, Brittany, Denise, and Karen
