I am so sorry for your loss. Brooke was a kind man with tremendous compassion for special needs children. He helped my daughter Ashley by leading the team who advocated for private placement. Truly an awesome man.

I was really sad to hear about your loss. Brooke had helped the Gardner family in the early 1990's insure that my brother, Lee Gardner, transitioned to a good program in Ohio that helped him graduate from high school. We could not have done it without Brooke's help.

Thank you.
