To the family:

"God is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble." Psalms 46:1

During this very difficult and sad time my thoughts and prayers are with you. May our hearts mend a little with each passing day. I have so many happy memories of Col. Brembry as do the many lives that was touched by Col. Brembry at Southern University. Col. Brembry may pass from this earth, but not from the hearts of those he touched and those that loved him.
