To the Brown Family and Jennifer, Kaite, and Adam

I lost my granny in August. I am sorry for the loss of Grandma Brown. No words can make things better and time doesn't heal the pain you guys feel. Cherish the memories and remeber all the good times you had. Love, trust, and cherish every day ahead.
