Mary Beth Brooks, our precious gift from God, an amazing daughter, wonderful sister, loving granddaughter, best niece possible, faithful friend, a brilliant and gifted visual artist, talented musician and creative writer with such quick whit, went home to Heaven to be with God and her Gramma, unexpectedly at the age of 15, on November 11, 2011, and is now our Angel above. Mary is watching over her proud and blessed parents, Mike and Jaelene, her loving sisters, McKenna and Meghan and her awesome brother, Jordan.

In addition, she is also looking down upon her wonderful cousins, Erin, Kara and Jenna, “Baby Maureen,” Seth and Tarin, Brandon, Bailey, Brett, Brent and Charlie, all of her special friends, especially Erica, Betty and Abigail and all of her YouTube (puddledivergal) followers.
