May God wrap you in his arms and give you the Bennett family strength to carry on.It seems to me that God needed one more angel and he chose little brooke to lead the choir good night little angel, good night

I want to take this time to thank everyone who has left thier condolences for Brooke and our family. Our Little Angel is with God, and will watch over us until we can be together again. I might be just the step mother, but I LOVE HER like she is my very own. We did the best we could as parents from a seperated home. If I had my way, she would still be with us. We did what we could to become the custodial parents. Now, we can only do what we can to keep her memory alive. GOOD NIGHT SWEET GIRL. DADDY & I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH. YOU WILL BE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER.

may u rest in peace and please let there be justice for u booke gods with u now rest in peace

I did not know Brooke, but I am sending out my deepest sympathies to the family. I am very sorry for your loss and hope he pays the hard way for what he did. Even if he does not get the death penalty, I think he should rott in jail and get the same treatment he did to her. They should use him for a sex program. I am a mother of 7 children and out of the 7, I have three young girls. I will never allow my children to go out by themselves. I don't know what this world is coming to, but it doesn't look good. I think this could of been prevented, they should of went to the police earlier and the police should of did something to him knowing he was already jailed for the same thing.

I didn't now you or your family, but from day one I had prayed you would be found alive. Your story really touched my heart. I pray for your family, that God will grant them some peace as they endure there loss. You were such a beautiful little girl, and now you are a beautiful angel.

There are no words that can make it easier and as heartfelt as my condolences may be, it will never be enough to make it better. But know that the country is mourning with you and that our love is yours to fall upon to assist you as much as it can to get through this terrible time in your life. Once you've coped with the pain, try to remember the good times and the beauty that was brooke and console yourself with the bright spot you was in so many people's lives... She may be gone, but she will never be forgotten!

I did not know your little girl, I have followed the story and it truly saddens me to hear of stories like this. I lost my father 6 months ago unexpectedly and it's the worst feeling in the world to have to say goodbye. I have a daughter myself and situations like this make me want to keep her with in 3 feet of me for the rest of her life, but I know that make up, hair color, boys, friends, school, is all part of growing up and all you can do is the best you can and pray for them to be safe. no better parenting or blame games are going to make or change the this tragedy and shoulda coulda would'ves will honestly drive you past insanity. sometimes the worst things happen to the best and most undeserving people with no rhyme or reason. I'm so unbelievably sorry for your loss, and I hope you can find peace in your heart one day knowing that you are still wonderful people and all you can do is breath in and breath out. the rest of your family needs you still. God Bless

dont say good bye, good bye is forever. dont say see you later, you may not. say it was nice knowing you , and loving you, because it was.

My thoughts and prayers are with Brooke and the Bennett family. May He grant you the strength needed to get through the days, weeks, months and years ahead. No parent should ever have to endure the loss of a child. My heart goes out to you.

IM SO SORRY I DID NOT KNOW HER BUT I HAVE A DAUGHTER HER AGE..AND IT JUST MAKES ME VERY SAD AND UPSET ..NOW SHE IS WITH GOD..AND SHE IS A ANGEL LOOKING DOWN AT HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS..WATCHING OVER THEM...R.I.P LIL ANGEL.....

Brooke was only 12 and when your turning 13 its something that you wanna do. id rather have parents that let me do those thing like color my hair and ware makeup then do it behind that back. Its not the mothers fault. Im 16 so i know where brooke was comeing from with wareing makeup and dyeing your hair. Her mother is a strong women and has lost her daughter. She dont deserve any of the blame she knew where her children were. She had to work to make money. I cant believe people would try to blame her. She has lost her daughter. What is wrong with people. Its not her fault. She didnt do anything wrong. Just leave her alone and respect her in her time of need.

My heart goes out to Brooke -- that little girl didn't have a chance surrounded by sick, evil adults. Her aunt was married to a convicted sexual predator/child molester -- and her ex step-father I believe also had some problems in that area -- don't you think it's a bit odd that BOTH sisters married (and one stayed) with this kind of man? Brooke's mother, as the custodial parent, has to share in the blame for this child's torture and murder -- she knew about those men and did nothing to keep them away from her daughter. Also, on some other website -- someone commented -- and I agree with them -- that no 12 year old needs to color her hair and wear make-up -- she was too young and even though nothing on earth should provoke those sick, disgusting feelings in men/creatures like that -- making children look older and sexualizing them seems to stir the illness. Very, very sad -- such a young, healthy, little girl -- snuffed out before she had a chance. the state of Vermont also should be held partially responsible -- the liberal judges allow these deviates to be out where they should not be.

Its hard to think a girl as beautiful as her could be gone so fast. Im Brittany and i dont know Brooke. I dont know anything about her. Just the stuff ive heard. She has a smile that cant leave your mind. Everyday i seem to find myself watching the news hopeing that it wasnt Brookes body they found and that Brooke may still be alive. Its hard to believe that she was only 12. Im sorry for you lose and though im only 16 i understand.Its somthing i dont want to believe but as everyday passes i see her smile in my mind

I did not know Brooke personally, although I knew of her. My grandfather knows Jim. It is so scary to think that something like this could happen so close to home. I hope that the men that made this happen go to the death penalty. I have been following your story since the day of the amber alert and I wished that there was a way I could have helped with the search, I wish that you would have been alright and that you would have come home safe. You will be missed by many. My heart goes out to your family, and may you Rest In Peace. You and your family are in my prayers. *****Ariel from South Royalton, Vermont******

I live in Massachusetts, and I did not know Brooke. after hearing her story and only being 11, I will now be more cautious. May God forever Bless You Brooke, and keep you in loving arms forever. Justice will be served one day for those evil men. I also give out My depest sympathy to her family. God Bless

I never expected such a sick tradgedy to happen in a small community like that, but it goes to show that times are changing and we as parents have to be extra protective. Justice will not be done until the sick men take their last breath. That could be along time because the justice system will let them sit on death row for many years at the tax payers expense. My prayers are with Jim and his family. Brooke, you are with the good lord and he will protect you forever. R.I.P BROOKE!! Love Jackie & Family (KY)

I have followed your story since the Amber alert here in VT. Prayed for your safe return, sadden by the news of your death. I do not know your family, my prayers are with them all. I try to understand why you were allowed to be with this man without supervision knowing of his past, even tho he was a family member, we as parents are to protect you in every way. My heart goes out to your mother knowing she let her guard down and now the worst possible thing happened. May God be with her and help her through this. I also believe that the state of VT has let us all down with the laws protecting the names and address of sex offenders here in our state. I have two teenage girls to look after and being a single mother I do the very best I can but the laws here do not help me in any way. Maybe if other people new of this man and what he had done in his past they could of help stopped this. rest is peace Brooke

My prayers are with you. May God bring you peace!

I never met Brooke but I have been watching her story on Nancy Grace. I have 2 daughters 18 and 21 and I know its very hard to watch over them 24/7. If anything ever happen to them I would go absolutely crazy. So I can imagine what her parents are going thru and may God Bless Them and Brookes whole family. May God punish that bad bad man for what he done to her. She looked like a sweet lil angel. Like I said to the family I know its hard to be with them all the time, cause I was a single mom and had to work 12 hrs. 5-6 nights aweek and I prayed and prayed for my children to be safe. I hope brooke is in a better place which I know she is and I hope her parents canget thru this awful tough time, God Bless!

I wish Brookes family had kept that pervert uncle away from her and other small children.Once a pervert always a pervert.Brooke deserved so much better than this.Brooke was failed by her mom and other family members that could have protected her and didnt.

I have 2 daughters of my own...10 and 13 yrs old. The immense pain Brookes family must be going throught right now, is unimaginable. Laws are changing and hopefully they will help to bring some solace for the parents and families that are tortured by these sadistic and evil acts that have been forced upon their precious children. Brooke, I know is with God. Her memory of her pain has been erased. She looks down upon her family with love and new wisdom beyond any we can comprehend. We must as parents and as decent human beings - make sure child predator laws are nation wide and have no loop holes, so Brooke and all the other children will not have died in vain. God bless the Bennett family and may Brooke live in all our hearts, so we never forget how precious our children truly are. Respectfully, Roylene and Family from California

Brooke you captured the hearts of many! I pray for everyone that loves you as well as everyone who has been touched by you! Fly with the Angels......No one will ever hurt you again.....Love Karen from New York Justice Will Prevail!!

I did not know Brooke. My Dad was born and raised in Randolph Center and Brooke's Grandpa Denny is my Dad's 1st Cousin and I remember summers going "back home" , as my Dad refered to it and having mini-family parties. I remember Denise, Cassie and Ezra, when we were about Brooke's age. Having a young daughter of my own I can truely feel the pain that Cassie is going through. May God bless and comfort you at this time of deep sorrow. Take care and know that Brooke is among the angels (with my Mom, Judy) up in Heaven and we will see her again someday. She will never be touched by evil again. Those people should all be...words cannot express the anger I feel for those people that pray on the young ones.

You Will be missed.

I live in Texas and did not know you, but followed your story from the very beginning, hoping and praying that you would be found safe and unharmed. I grieve over your lost life and the horrors of your final hours. I wish I could have done something to help you. You were let down by almost every adult in your life and I am so sorry that happened to you. As a survivor of sexual assault, I know what so many people refuse to acknowledge: rapists, pedophiles, sexual predators, etc CAN NOT BE CURED. Once a rapist, always a rapist. The only thing that you can count on about these people is they will offend again and again and again. I am so sorry you had to find this out. Although it's obvious that your mother and father loved you, I am so sorry that they failed to protect you and thought it was ok to allow you to have contact with a known sex offender. It was their responsibility to keep you safe from your uncle and for unknown reasons they put you in his hands instead of keeping you safely away from him. I am sorry your aunt was so blind to the situation that she stayed with this man, a convicted sex offender, even though faced with evidence of his continuing sexual depravity (as stated by her in the affadavit for your ex-stepfather). I am sorry your aunt put you and all of her neices, nephews, and her own children in harm's way. I am sorry that your ex-stepfather, your uncle, and apparently your cousin also betrayed you. Brooke, you were betrayed by so many adults who were supposed to be looking out for you and it breaks my heart that that is the ultimate sad reality. Hopefully, your death will not be in vain. Hopefully the state of Vermont will learn and accept that perpetrators of sexual crimes CAN NOT be cured and will do away with silly programs like the one your uncle "passed" and that perhaps the state will respect you and other victims enough to change the laws and not let men like your uncle be free to continue to brutalize their victims. Hopefully your family will learn and will accept their responsibility in putting you at risk by allowing a convicted sex offender to have access to you. Maybe they will stand up and speak out because as bizarre as it may seem, there are probably other families like yours that let "Uncle Molester" have uninhibited access to young family members. Brooke, I am so sorry for you and your family. You deserved better. Although I did not know you, I assure you I will never forget you.

I did not know Brooke I along with the rest of the US waited for her to be found..sadly she was found but is now in Heaven Fly with the Angels that you are now a part of..Brooke America mourns with your Family and Friends,,This is something that should never happen to you or any other Young ..may justice for you come swiftly! My Heart goes out to James and Janet bennett,,may you always have memories to carry you threw this tragic time

Hey folks it's Chuck, Love you all. Lots of hugs for you Janet. I wish I could get up there to be with you.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Brooke but I had seen her in passing in my trips back to my hometown (Randolph). This is an incredible tragedy and my thougths and prayers are with you. I have been following this since the Alert was first issued. I said many prayers for her safe return and remained hopeful to the very end. I have family and friends who still live in the Randolph area so it hits home. I continue to pray for you all and hope that with the support of those around you and even from all of us strangers that have been touched deeply by this, that you are able to remember her and be stronger each day.

I live in Rutland,Vt and have been following this case since I heard the Amber alert. I prayed for Brooke's safe return and am very saddened by the turn of events. My thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones. Brooke, the men who did this to you will not go unpunished. Rest in Peace sweet little girl.

My heart goes out to Brookes family, god bless you & watch over you.

I live in New Hampshire. I do no know you brooke, but God is with you now. My condolences to brookes family. As far as these postings go. HOW DARE YOU DEBBIE CUMPTON!!! You do not know the circumstances of this family!! How can you blame Brookes mother for not protecting her? Do you have children? If so, you must have them on a short leash. Brooks mother is grieving enough!! GOD BLESS YOU BROOKE, YOUR MOM, DAD, AND THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY

I DON'T KNOW BROOKE! I HAVE WATCHED THE STORY ON TV. THIS IS A TERRIBLE THING THAT HAS HAPPENED. SHE IS NOW WITH GOD AND HIS ANGELS AND THEY ARE NOW WATCHING OVER HER. MANY PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GOD TAKES CHILDREN WHO HAS MANY MANY YEARS LEFT TO LIVE BUT ONLY GOD KNOWS. HE KNEW SOMETHING THAT WE DIDN'T. SHE IS IN GREAT HANDS NOW!!!!!

I am in Iowa, and have 3 daughters. one a little older than Brooke. although I dont know her, or her family and friends, my heart has been breaking since the beginning. I cant imagine my self in your place, or how id be feeling, but as a mother I know it would be difficult, and I wanted to offer my sincere sympathy and offer any words of comfort I could. your daughter was a beautiful girl, and seem to deserve so much more in this life. I hope justice is served and your daughters memory lives forever in your heart and all of us who hass been touched by this story. God Bless you all. Kim and family from Iowa

I found out on the news last night about Brooke, our thoughts and prayers are with you all. God will punish those involved if not in this life, in the afterlife. Brooke deserves justice. The entire country mourns with you. May God bless you, and keep you strong. Justice will be done for you Brooke. I hope that everyone that reads these posts, hold your children a little closer to you tonight no matter what their age is. God bless you.

I will continue to pray for your family and all the families who have lost loved ones do to these horrible actions by these evildoers. we cannot even no the pain you are suffering but we will continue to pray for your healing and for God to give you strength and peace so you can carry on the beautiful memories of a life that brought joy and happiness to many . May God embrace Brooke in his loving arms and see that justice is done to those who continue to steal our chilren from us. Bruce

my heart goes out to your family I have a daughter three yrs older than Brooke. I can't even imagine the pain your going thru I hope you get justice for her

Please know that the world is embracing you all. Try to feel our love around you as you all pull together to help each other get through. Her spirit will always be with you for no one can ever take that away. You will feel her love again.......love like spirit NEVER goes away.

My prayer are with brooke and her family..

We didn't know Brooke-but had been following the story as soon as we heard about it.. Our thoughts/prayers and heart goes out to her family... Kim, Steve and Koleton

OH BROOKE, HOW SAD IT IS THAT SOCIETY AND YOUR MOM DIDN'T PROTECT YOU FROM THESE MONSTERS. GOD WILL PROTECT YOU NOW, THOUGH. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL YOU WERE. MAY GOD BLESS YOUR DAD AND SIBLINGS AS THEY SUFFER YOUR LOSS.

I am very saddened about the out come of Brooke. Brooke you are in God's hands now. No one can ever hurt you again. I am praying for the family during this hard time. I hope that the people who did this to you are put away FOREVER and are Castrated.

I didn't know Brooke, but have been watching the story from Illinois unfold since I saw it on Nancy Grace's show last week. I was heartbroken to learn that her body had been found, as I was praying for a safe return. I'm so sorry her family has lost her and even sorrier than it appears to be at the hands of a relative of the family. That is unbelieveable and I know we all pray for justice for Brooke. I hope he gets what he deserves! I hope and pray that Brooke is free and happy with God and all the other angels that have joined him.

My heart goes out to Brooke. I know that she is in safe hands with God. This should be a good example for all of us to be thankful for our children and make sure we are being very protective.

Brooke, I'm heartbroken that you had to leave this earth so quickly. But God is and always has been our Father so you're safe now. I believe you'll receive a special crown to wear as you do God's work in Heaven.

To the Bennett Family, I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful little girl. Being a mother of 2 teenage girls I can't begin to imagine what you are feeling. I have been watching this story unfold as if it were right here in my life. I have been hoping and praying that your little girl would come back to you safe and sound. The man or men who did this deserve every bad thing that comes to them. He /They took a beautiful little girl from their family. I am so sorry again. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you in this hard time.

As a mother of a beautiful 12 year old daughter, my heart goes out to your family. Words cannot express how sad I am for you right now. I have been watching this story on the news here in Utah. Please know that God is with you right now. Brooke is so pretty, and I am sure that you will feel your saddness and pain forever. I am going to give my daughter a very special hug today in memory of your baby. Shalynda Lund Tooele Utah

Brooke since your disappearance a week ago,you have been in my prayers along with your family.When I went to Randolph last night for your vigil,I found out about everything,I just burst into tears.How could someone do this to you.Dont you worry his day will come and justice will be served.You will always be in our hearts,our memories and our prayers along with your family.We will all continue to be there for your family...And we hope that you can hear us and you watch over all of us each and every day. We love you Brooke.

Dearest Brooke, I prayed from day 1 that you would be returned safetly to your family . In a sad way, my prayer was answered as you are with the angels now and safe in Gods hands.(Even though I didnt know you, I am a mom of 2 girls and I shed tears for you on the sad news last night) I pray God finds the right punishment for the man that did this too you sweety.. Your life had only begun. How cruel and sick for him to take that away from you. You are so precious too many and will always remain in our hearts for years to come. God Bless you sweety and be among the angels.. So many are praying still for you and your family..

As a father of two little girls, I was horrified when I heard the details of this (now murder) case. I can only hope that justice will come quickly to the person responsible, and may God be with Brooke's family during this trying time. They'll be in my prayers.
