Gone too soon,
Is what we all say
As we sit around and talk,
About the events of that day
But this is not a time,
For us to be sad
It’s a time to reflect,
On the good times we had
Heaven has a new Angel,
And I know if she was here
Brooke would be smiling at us all,
Telling us not to shed a tear
There are no words to be said,
Nothing that we can do
Except celebrate the good times,
‘Cause that’s what she would do
Temporary is what I think,
When we say “gone too soon”
‘Cause we will see Brook again someday,
When we reach the far side of the moon
She was loved by so many,
And will truly be missed
But she brightened all out lives,
And for that we are all Blessed
In the meantime, Miss Brooke Chapman,
Will always pull them through
Just like the little tugboat,
Just doing what they do
Sometimes things are crazy,
Sometimes we don’t understand
But Brooke smiles on all our hearts,
From Heaven where she did land
We Love You, We Miss You,
But we will not say goodbye
Because we will see you again
In those Heavenly clouds in the Sky

Brooke was a very important part of my childhood, and I’ve enjoyed getting to see the compassionate young woman she became. I’m so deeply sorry for her family, and I’m sending my love.
Brooke Chapman
The world lost a beautiful soul with your departure and my heart is heavy, as well are the hearts of the many of the lives you touched during your time with us. There is no ability to understand or comprehend your family’s sorrow at this time, but it is my dear hope that they will receive comfort and happiness in knowing that you have been such a positive inspiration to all those whose lives you touched.
May you rest in eternal peace.
Brooke,
Our friendship sure meant a lot to me and I will never forget the times we got to hangout. My favorite memory of you is the trip we all took to Los Angeles with Fitzugh. Living in LA now, I can’t help but continue to think of that memory.
Brooke, you are a beautiful person and I will miss you dearly. I know you are looking down smiling at us from heaven. This is not goodbye for good, rather a goodbye for now.
Brooke,
You put a smile on my face every day of marching band practice. Your cheer and sweetness were contagious and it drew everyone toward you. Never had I met such a genuinely joyous person. I’m heartbroken for your family and friends. Peace and condolences to the Chapmans. We miss you Brooke!
Anita, I am so saddened to hear of the loss of your beautiful niece. My prayers are with you all.
Brooke was always a smiling happy girl who was a pleasure to work with as a Band parent and as a fellow student for my kids. We are sorry for your loss.
