| BRENT MICHAEL BOOTH 9 August 1971 - 28 October 2002 |
| My heart is breaking and I can not yet understand why I lost my brother. Brent died on the 28th of August 2002, he was only 31. He left behind 2 beautiful boys Jamin 8 and Jordon 3. We dont know why yet, the post mortem showed no natural causes. We have to wait 8 weeks for a toxicology report. I can only for now guess. He fought long and hard with a drug addiction. We can be thankful that on the Wednesday before his death he gave himself again to God at his church. My Mother believes He took my brother to save his soul. He was a true believer of God but not strong of will. I miss him and I cry but I know he is at peace at last. My brother was addicted to and abused prescription drugs. My Mum and his mate found Brent at his home. I wish he hadn't been alone, I wish we knew how we could have helped him more. I have regrets, we all have regrets. Mine is I got so busy with my life I forgot to involve him. I loved him. |

| The song playing "I'll stand by you" along with "Everybody Hurts" were played at Brent's funeral service. |
...........something in you dies when you bear the unbearable. And it is only in that dark night of the soul that you are prepared to see as God sees and to love as God loves. Ram Dass |
| My Brother |
| Watching over you While you sleep your sleep of sleeps I lay my hand open your brow And whisper gently in your ear Sleep well my gentle noble brother Dream dreams of promise Be at peace with yourself Think calming thoughts At home with God, a beloved angel Forever more to feel no pain Jane F Chapman (Sister) |
