Conrad L. Brooks, age 87 of Athens, passed away, Wednesday, December 25, 2019 at Parkwest Medical Center.  He had a difficult time hearing on this Earth but to think the first voice he was able to hear loud and clear was a voice that he knew instantly saying "Well done though good and faithful servant."
