The 25th Anniversary of Stacy Brooks' Death

If you're wondering how long it took 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.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Dedicated to Stacy Ann Brooks (1972-1997) who died a quarter of a century ago today on September 7, 1997.
