My dad had a heart attack at 73 and an aortic aneurysm at 72 he also had a stroke. One of his brothers died at 56 of a massive heart attack, it was his third. My brother who is 58 has had three heart attacks. Joyce In a message dated 11/29/2006 1:32:32 A.M.

My grandfather, her father, died when he was 60, from a heart attack. Her middle brother died at the age of 45 from a heart attack. Then her sister died from heart trouble at the age of 51. Then 2 months later, the next to the oldest brother died at the age of 53 from heart trouble. My mother died at the age of 63 from a heart attack. Then her youngest brother died from a stroke that he had from his high blood pressure and sugar diabetes. He was in his 60's too. I am wondering if heart disease seems to run in anyone else's Hooker family. Thanks. Charlotte
