The heart wrenching end to our spring break...



The sun rise was beautiful on the morning of April 5. I knew stormy weather was rapidly approaching so we thought we would make the most out of our morning. We grabbed our morning latte's and headed for St. Augustine. We drove around in the rain looking at the town. As we were starting the return drive to our room, we got some of the most devastating news that we have even had to face as a couple.
Our dear dear friend and my coworker had suddenly passed away. We were speechless. There truly are no words that can describe is kindness and love for life and others. Not a day has passed that we do not think of him and the joy that he brought to everyone that can in contact with him. He was certainly a mentor to Steve and I thought of my self as one of his grandchildren (who are all wonderful and I love dearly). His untimely passing has made me recognize how precious life is and how fast the universe can change.

His smile and positive attitude was simply contagious.
Edward Brooksher, you will always be loved and remembered as one of Lumpkin Counties greatest.
Edward you will always be in our hearts.
Every time I see the beauty in the sky, I know that you are smiling down upon me and patting me on the back.
