Dear Courtney, When the phone rang and I was told you had little time. My heart stopped and my throat went dry. I tried to speak but my words turned into cries. The tears came and there was nothing I could do. I knew I had to come and be with you. I knew in my heart you were going to leave. I prayed that you would wait for me. I needed to come say good bye. I tried to stay strong and not cry. I made it in time to hold your hand. I could feel your presence and pain. I felt your warmth start to fade. I could not believe that you were going away. I watched as you took your last breath. My heart sank as you left. I yelled to the lord “What have you done!” How dare you take someone so young? Hate and anger came over me. I hid it well as you could see. I wanted answers and knew were to go. My pain for you would be put on hold. Now it was time to say good bye. I no longer had questions as to why. I walked in the room and felt ill. As I walked to your casket I felt a chill. Then your presence overwhelmed me. I started to remember all our memories. Your beautiful face flashed before my eyes. The next I knew I was starting to cry. You are my sister and I will never let you go. I will always love you and want you to know. Your blood will always run through my veins. I will always feel your presence without pain. I will remember the women you wanted to be. The Brooks sisters will always be three. I will never forget the girl I knew you as. Your memory will never be of the past. Courtney this is not goodbye. You are now an Angel in the sky. Please do not be scared or cry. We will always keep your sprit alive. Everyone will know who you are. Kristin and I know you are watching from afar. I will see you once again. I will keep you in my heart until then. Love Always Your Big Sis, Heather

Courtney Elizabeth Brooks I love and miss you with all my heard Love always Heather
