IN MEMORY OF MR. MILLARD BROOKS

The death angel visited our home on February 26 and took our dear Daddy home 
to Jesus. He was 80 years, 2 months and 11 days old. He was born in Coweta 
County, Georgia but had lived in Alabama practically all of his life. Daddy, 
we miss you so much, but we feel like our loss is Heaven's gain. We would 
not call you back to this sorrowful world. It seemed so hard to part with 
you, but God in His wisdom knew best and your going will make heaven nearer 
to your bereaved family. It is a great consolation to know that if we live 
the example you set for us, we will meet you again where there will be no 
parting.

"Daddy from us is gone,

A voice we love is stilled,

A place is vacant in our home,

Which never can be filled.

His daughter, Mrs. Howell
