April 16, 20179 yr My husband, Dennis's brother, Steve, died yesterday. He was 68 years old. He had been a heavy smoker since his teenage years, and although he tried many times, he never managed to beat the addiction. He was diagnosed with lung and throat cancer. Three weeks ago he had the surgery for the lung cancer. He was supposed to be home in just a few days. Unfortunately, he got pneumonia, and then sepsis. They took him off life support yesterday, and he lived for about an hour. He loved people, golf, and fishing. His second grandchild will be born in the next month. If you haven't quit...you owe it to yourself and your loved ones. Dennis is on the left, Steve in the middle, Milton on right.

April 17, 20179 yr Author I forgot to mention that Steve was a hero...survived Viet Nam to die from smoking... http://www.clickfh.com/Obituary-Of-Stephen-Doyle-Brooks%2C-Sr./2815
April 18, 20179 yr I'm so sorry for your loss. May he have an easy journey to summerland and rest where there are no addictons. Blessings to you all. x
April 19, 20179 yr Oh, Nancy. Sympathies to you and your family. Such a sad reminder of the power of addiction.
April 21, 20179 yr I'm very sorry, Nancy. I wish young people could understand the very real consequences of smoking but they rarely do, I didn't. I've lost too many family members and dear friends from smoking and yet I continued to smoke. That's a whole other story. Prayers to you and your family.
