Ree Drummond broke her silence after it was confirmed that her brother, Michael Smith, had died. On Wednesday, Drummond took to her verified Facebook account to confirm the news of her brother’s death and eulogize him with a series of thoughtful photos showing them together.  "It isn’t possible to sum up the life of someone as perfectly wonderful as my brother Michael, so right now I won’t try," the "Pioneer Woman" and cookbook author wrote. "He was seventeen months older than me, my first friend and buddy, and I’m so grateful for over 50 years of photos and memories." The four photos she shared include a black-and-white image of them as toddlers sitting in a wagon together.
