I just found out about Brooke's passing. I was on vacation out of state. I was one of Brooke's nurses at St Peters Hospital in Albany.Brooke was a favorite patient of mine. We had so many laughs. I received a Christmas card from him just last year and it is so nice to know that you are remembered. I will always remember Brooke in my heart. I am so sorry for your loss. Brooke was a wonderfull man.
