Mama's life is like a good book. I can read it from cover to cover, but everytime I go back I get something new out of it!

To the Brown Family: I was just heartbroken to hear of your Mom's illness and then ultimately her passing. In my family circle she is referred to affectionately as "Ms. Brown" and/or "Ma". Although I did not know her as intimately as others in my family I heard all the beautiful, funny, warmhearted stories and witnessed the loving hand that she extended to all! May you find solace in all of the beautiful memories you have shared with your mom. Peace be with you!

I did not know Mrs. Jones but I am friends with her daughter, Janie. I know what a class act Janie is; so I know what an excellent job Mrs. Jones did raising her children. I pay my respects to the entire family. Know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many of us. I'm sorry that I cannot be there, Janie, but please know that I am thinking about you. God bless.
