Several months ago, fitness model Amanda Sazell was tragically killed in a highly-publicized murder-suicide case by an admitted steroids dealer and user, who had admitted providing steroids to at least one former Dallas Cowboy.

Now Amanda’s equally attractive and vivacious sister, Brandy Cooke, has decided to begin speaking our publicly against domestic violence and steroids use in hopes of saving the lives of many other women.

My wife and I met her at The Family Place’s annual Trailblazers Awards luncheon yesterday, and were very impressed by her and her rather surprising enthusiasm and strength for what she wants to do. She said that she and her family want to meet with me and other members of the LIllian Smith Family Violence Foundation because, as survivors of various kinds of family violence, they want to speak with others who have been through the same grieving which they are experiencing. One of our organization’s objectives is to provide comfort to those who have experienced family violence trauma.

We look forward to meeting with Brandy and her family soon.
