TarheelTrojan Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Awsome. Thanks for posting I felt such a sense of loss after reading this, a loss that I never had the chance to know Brook. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 What a class act Brook was. Words can't begin to describe what a great guy he was. The autograph I have of his is probally my most prized Husker possession. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Bigrediowan, I don't think he would want you to praise him man, give it to God instead! Glad you found Jesus at the right time #18! Quote Link to comment
MCAT800 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Never met the kid but if half is what said about him is true then he was truly a gift. Quote Link to comment
ohiohusker Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Love that song! Can't believe it's been that long. I'm going to see Sawyer Brown in a couple of weeks. Wonder what it would take to get that song played here in Ohio? A great kid who left us too early. God must have needed a special angel! Quote Link to comment
Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Definitely a wonderful human being. God Bless him. Quote Link to comment
