Sending my sincere condolences to the family of Lawrence "Skeet" Brooks. May our Heavenly Father provide you the strength and comfort that you need during this sorrowful time. Lawrence and I met as sophomores at SHS and even at that time as a teenager he was a true gentleman. He was very intelligent,kindhearted and considerate of others. I am sure those attributes remained throughout his adult life. May you rest in peace Skeet. You were one of the Good Ones.4
