The 25th Anniversary of Stacy Brooks' Death

If you're wondering how long it took for a man to die after crashing a car, five days was how long it took. The car crash killed him and his ex-wife who was named Stacy Brooks. He was driving over a hundred miles per hour at midnight, that was really fast. Stacy died instantly but her ex-husband died about 120 hours after the crash. Stacy has been dead for the same amount of time that she lived, twenty-five years. She was a very special lady and her death brought about misery, suffering and tears. Stacy wasn't stuck up like some other girls who I went to school with, she would talk to me. It wasn't fair when she died so young, my friend has been dead for a quarter of a century. Her life ended in 1997 on the seventh of September. She was a unique person who I will always remember. [Dedicated to Stacy Brooks (1972-1997) who died a quarter of a century ago today on September 7, 1997]
