I am so glad I have this opportunity to send my condolences to the family.  I worked with Laura at SRS and we were friends right away after first meeting.  She was a joy to be around.  I truly miss Laura and enjoy being around her.  May God Bless the family.  I will always remember Miss Laura.

She is a beautiful person and her pictures tell the story of a loving family woman, who took pride in her daughters, and was dedication to her husband.  They tell story of a of a sophistication sister, who loved to live life to the fullest and always kept her head held high.  I was not fortunate enough to meet her, but I see her through one of her children.  Jacqui not only looks like her mother, but surely has inherited the traits of a great woman and I am glad to know her as my new friend.  Laura's death is our lost and her life was her blessing to the world!  To her family: when you are morning her remember that she prefer you use that time live and be happy as she did.

I was soooo sorry to hear about the passing of Laura. Sending my deepest sympathy to the entire family.

OMG I'm so sorry to hear about Ms. Laura. My prayers are with you all. I will never forget her.

Dear Laura, 
When we first met in Brazil I just felt a strong connection with you and I immediately felt at ease in your presence. You ARE funny, youthful, beautiful, considerate, smart, wise, full of energy, elegant, charming, nice...,"down to earth" but now "up to heaven".  I am so thankful that our path crossed in this lifetime.

All my condolences to Debbie & family.

Bintou.

Jacqui & Ronnie and the Entire Brooks Family,  you have our deepest and heart felt sympathies.  Your mom will definitely be missed.  I just saw her in September and we were smiling and laughing as she reminded me of what she remembered about me as a kid.  Remember the good times, and ask God to give you peace and comfort always. We will always be praying for your strength.

Love you all,

To all of Laura's family and friends who loved her and will miss her so, so much...I don't know if you realize that you had an angel in your midst. She fit the description of one to a T: gentle, kind, funny, beautiful, and there was "light" wherever she stood!

I just met Laura in December, but found her quickly to be courageous, caring, and happy.  She is an inspiration to me.  My family and I send our deepest love and sympathy to all of her family.

Missing you so much but remembering you forever

So sorry to the family for their loss.  Laura was a dear friend and I will really miss seeing her sweet smile and wit.  Love you Miss Laura! God truly has another angel with him now!

Your mother was truly and classy lady. May God strength you all daily.  Rosalind Blocker

We are praying for the Brooks family during this time of grief.RIP Ms Laura.

God has another angel. My prayers are with the entire family. Laura was a classy lady and always had you thinking. She was a great example of how life can be lived to the fullest.

Desiree, Debbie, Dee, Jackie & Champ, 
As you know, not too many things knock me down, but "this!"...I loved the woman that introduced me to Mighty Joe Young, The Gorilla! Every time we saw each other we greeted the way "Joe " would greet and that would just crack us up!
I thank you ladies for sharing your Mom/Aunt with me growing up in the neighborhood. She made cleaning up on Saturdays fun (well, "some" of them), waiting on the bus warm and touching that "light thing" with the dripping water (that we weren't supposed to touch) interesting.
~LAURA NELSON BROOKS, JOB WELL DONE! YOUR FINAL TRAVEL IS AT HAND.
Blessings,

My deepest sympathy to Laura's family.  It was a pleasure to work with her.  I always looked forward to hearing about all of her many travels.  She enjoyed her life to the fullest. May God comfort you all in the days ahead.
