To Sam , Jr. and the rest of my family. I would like to express my condolences to you. Although I didn't have the pleasure of meeting and getting to know Uncle Sam until we met at his sister's funeral a few short years ago (my Grandmother Ellen V. Brown) it was indeed an honor and a pleasure. He immediately embraced my sister and brothers as family and he will forever be remembered in our hearts. You and your immediate family members are in our thoughts and prayers and we hope to be afforded the opportunity to stay in contact with everyone. Love..your Cousin Shwana E. Brown (daughter of Melvin C. Brown)

Absent from the body, but present with the Lord. God saw that his servant was getting tired, so he said come my child and I will give you eternal rest from all of cares. God picked another special flower from his rose garden. est on in Jesus name Poppe.
