Brooke,
I am so sad to learn of Bob's passing. Not that anyone deserves to lose a husband and father to their children, but when I heard of this my thoughts were, "This is so unfair. Brooke is such an absolutely wonderful person she doesn't deserve this."
I only hope that you are able to heal quickly and cherish the time you did have together. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Brent, Alec & Jeremy.
Fondly,
Judy Sukaloski
