    Re: I became a widow Monday night....

    Brook, I just saw this and I have absolutely no idea what to say. I just went and gave my kids an extra kiss while they sleep, because you just never know.

    May God bless you and your children.

            Dear, dear, Brook and family,

            My heart and soul grieves with you. I pray that you all come out of this tragedy with good memories and warm recollections, as that's what we hold dear to our hearts. The Lord knows your needs and will be by your side, though I cannot immagine what you're going through, I need to trust in His DEVINE plan. That doesn't minimilize your pain, though...............
            Hugs and prayers,

              Brook, you have my thoughts and prayers for you and your daughters at this very difficult time in your lives. The photos you posted of the two of you and him with the kids were just fabulous. They will love having them around to remember as time passes. Nothing handles pain such as your loss as well as time and as the pain recedes, the happy memories will remain with you in your hearts and with those lovely photos.

                Brook,

                Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I can't imagine what this has been like for you and your children, but I urge you to stay strong. He would be proud of you for such strength and I have no doubt that he will always be with you and your children.

                  You know Brook I was talking to my friend Elizabeth about you. Her husband Eddie passed away last year. Elizabeth said that one thing you will need to know is that you should get many copies of your hubby's death certificate, way more than you think you'll need, as you can't make copies of it on a copier, and everyone seems to need/want to have their own copy. Her Eddie has been gone 19 months and 11 days (yes, she's still counting). She also told me that if you want to talk to someone who's been there (her Juliette is 8 and Justin is 3 or 4) she'd be available for you (just PM me).

                  HUGS on all you're dealing with!

                        Brook,

                        I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I haven't been around ADBB for a month, and am in shock reading your post.

                        I know you already had a lot on your plate before this happened, and I'm sure it will be a harder road to trod on now with the loss of your husband.

                          Brook,

                          There are no words that I can say that will take away your pain or bring Daddy back to Aaron, Nikole, and Sammy. Be sure that you are in my thoughts and prayers thru this time. I am so sorry for the loss you have all experienced.

                          We experienced a huge loss just year ago and life will never be the same as we knew it before a terrible accident took away a very special person from our lives. You know that you have many many friends here to lend an ear or give a hug at any time you need.

                          Hang on tight to those kiddos and know that in time although you won't forget .............. you will remember......... the good times and all the happiness that was a part of your life together.

                          God Bless

                              I am praying you and your children will reach out to the Lord Jesus, and let him hold you and keep you now and in the years ahead.Jesus held me through some pretty horrible times and I know he will do the same for you.
                              I am so sad to hear of your loss, praying for you and your children.

                                Brook,
                                It breaks my heart to hear about your tragic loss. This is truly a family hear and I think I speak for everyone when I say please lean on us. We may not know each other personally but I am willing to do anything I can for you. You don't have to know someone in person to feel their sadness. Remember, he may be gone physically but he's never going to be gone from your heart and memories. Hold on to those. I will def. keep you and your children in my thoughts and prayers. Reading this has put my own life into more perspective of what we all have and need to appreciate and not take anything for granted. Noone should have to go though a tragedy to be reminded of all the good in our lives. God bless everyone here....
