'Strawberry' Brooks memorial service

[1pocket]

I wanted to pass on this information about Strawberry's memorial service. Anyone who is in the area, or would like to send along a remembrance or note, I am sure the family would most appreciate it:

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, December 23, 2006, from 11 am to 12 pm, at Shiloh Baptist Church, followed by the internment at Ft. Lincoln Cemetery. (There will be a wake/viewing from 9:30 am to 11 am at the church).

Flowers should be sent directly to the church.

Funeral Service:

Shiloh Baptist Church
1510 9th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20001
202-232-4288

Cards and letters should be sent to Strawberry’s wife, Mary, and his family at their home in DC:

Mrs. Melvin Brooks and Family
4800 8th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20011

Of course we will miss him at the Hall of Fame dinner at Derby City, but his memory will be very much present!
