I was so very blessed to have had the opportunity to meet Mr. Brock (and his family) and care for him during the months he was in Alabama. It was my privilege to be his nurse, and I looked forward to seeing him each week. To Ronnie, Bonnie, April, Jenny, and Jannett, I hope that you all find comfort in the memories you have of Mr. Brock. I know how special he was to you all and how much you loved him (and he loved you). You will all continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Living in Michigan, I only got to meet my uncle a few times. He sure reminds me of my grandpa. My mother, his sister " Lula Jane Brock" talk of him often. To his children, I'm sorry for your loss. He was a great man.
His niece,

I miss you so much already grandpa. It will never be the same going to Mountain View because without you there a big part is missing. I will never forget all the wonderful memories we shared together fishing and going to the store to get sandwich stuff for a picnic. I remember the many many walks in the woods. I look forward to seeing you in heaven! I love you, Grandpa.

I had the honor and privilege of being Mr Brock's nurse while he was living in Mississippi a few years ago. I will always remember him being such a sweet man. He always had wonderful stories to tell when I visited. I'm sure I spent more time listening than I should have many days. Praying for Peggy, Jerry and Mr Brock's whole family.
