What a rough month. My Dad had a massive heart attack last month, then shortly after arriving in ND, he died. I have been gone for about a month, it has been a rough one to met some one and say good bye to someone all in a week. It has been a emotional roller coaster. I did get to meet some of my bothers and sisters though. This past month has been very hard, the only thing my dad has ever done for me was pay for my ticket to help bury him.



A few of you have been trying to contact me, I and back please contact me so I may take care of business very promptly.
 
Sorry to hear about your Dad Brooke! Glad your back though!!
 
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad dying. It had to be interesting meeting siblings for the first time at an event like that.
 
Brooke, I'm so sorry. Please let us know if we can help in anyway.
 
So sorry Brooke, my thoughts are with you and your family! Take care and take it easy!
 
I am sorry Brooke.
 
Prayers are with you and your family ~ may your fond memories help comfort you at this diffcult time ~
