I think of your family often but especially now as I have learned of your loss, our loss. Love, Colleen
Just having met her one time, I can truly say that's all it took to fall in love with her, so very happy I got the chance to get a hug form her. what a light, felt like coming home. love you all so much, sending my good thoughts, love, and prayers to her beautiful family.
Dear Brown family. I am so sorry to have read of the death of Mary. Please accept my sincere condolences. I would like to share something that I have personally found to be comforting. It is found in the Bible at John 5:28, 29 and Revelation 21:4. These verses tell us that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our dear loved ones as well as do away with all causes we have for suffering, including sickness and death. Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my hope that these thoughts will comfort your family also.
