    We all knew this was coming, hoping against hope, that Brook would win her fight against cancer and there is no tougher fighter out there. Unfortunately, a friend of hers over at PA confirmed that she passed away yesterday afternoon.

    I'm not the kind of person that is comfortable sharing his feelings, but I was just as worried about her as everyone else.


    I only knew her briefly, but she was one of the most beautiful souls I have ever met and I am going to profoundly miss her. No good news are possible for me today, I am deeply distraught and I know all of us who knew her, most people here much better than myself, feel the same way.


    Although I miss you already, I know you are still with us Brook, in spirit, and I wish you Joy and Happiness in the life beyond. I know that you are in Heaven and that you are happy.

    Now that I've overcome the initial shock of disbelief, the tears are streaming down my face. God, I am going to miss her so much. She was genuine, and she was brilliant in every way. I had such high hopes for this Opdivo treatment, and I knew that Brook was a fighter, that she wouldn't let up. I really believed (and hoped) that she was going to beat this thing into submission.



    I've always loved her cartoons — she was so talented, and so spirited.




    This is how I will always remember her.


    She went where no one had gone before.
    She kicked ass.
    She rocked like a champ.
    She blazed the trail.
    She set the tone.
    She raised the bar.
    She was a one of a kind.

    GOODBYE, MY LOVELY FRIEND.

    IT WAS AN HONOR
    AND A PRIVILEGE
    TO KNOW YOU.

    YOU ARE BADLY MISSED.

    I am so sorry at your passing, although I am glad you no longer have such a fight to deal with. You are in a better place where you can be at peace, and you take with you so much LOVE.

    Oh dear.

    I guess the sign was an improvement in her health. Many cancer patients have a short period of respite / recovery then go downwards fast.

    At least you all tried to help. Wipe those tears away and smile knowing u tried your best.

    So sad. I admired her so much. I hope she was with her grandson near the end.

    This amazing person was an honor to encounter. I am so sad for her friends and family but HONESTLY I cannot look on death as a tragedy. REALITY is so much more than the one little human life and so many who touch the threshold to "after body" say you grok the big picture, feel joy that is hardly expressible in finite words and CARRY ON as you are.

    So I am sad she won't be posting and SURE she is having ongoing adventures. If any of her beloveds read this.... may you feel her close in and know she is well. Love to Brook and all her kin. Maggie

    I know it's a cliché, but she really is in a better place now. I, for one, intend to keep in touch with her as much as her busy next life permits. She may have lost her battle against cancer, but she was and is a very powerful spirit and I'm sure she will make an impact on this world even from the other side.

    Here's a song about embracing life in the face of it all. As Brook did.
