"The Wings of a Pixie"
On the shimmering wings of a pixie you glided into our hearts and lives Awakening the spirits running with our souls along the sunflower garden, giggling as the sprinkles of light sparkle in our eyes running with the wind just a carefree spirit on a search for the tambourine man playing his song to bring you home

02/28/2004: Update to questions about "DOE Network"  ***Click HERE for the Doe Network, then scroll down to criteria by using the scroll bar on the left of your screen, click on criteria. After clicking on the link scroll down to read "Unexplained disappearance criteria" this will explain why Brooke is NOT on the Doe Network . Brooke is listed on the Doe Network's sister site MPCCN ( Missing Persons' Cold Case Network ).*** 

02/28/2004: Update to clear up the CONFUSION It was brought to my attention  (07/30/2002) no DNA has ever been run on Brooke and the murdered female victim in North Carolina . Only dental records have been compared, and those did NOT match one had a cavity and the other one didn't. There is a website stating "Authorities compared Henson's relatives' DNA with the remains in July 2002. The test results have not been publicly released." This is NOT true, DNA has never been compared!!!!
