I would like to extend my condolences to Mrs. Brown's family. Mrs. Brown gave me a scholarship when I graduated from high school in 1977 which I appreciated very much. May God bless.

I would like to express my sorrow in Mrs. Brown's passing. I talked with her some on the phone. I was the daughter of Vernon Kesler. I now own the farm that joins hers at Union Hall. She was a very sweet and wonderful lady. I knew Mr. Brown from school.

Dora was a precious friend to our whole family. I have loving memories of her as she cared for so many people. She was a WONDERFUL cook, faithful friend and exemplary example of a Christian. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Dora was like a grandmother to me. Always a joy to talk with. I will miss her gingersnaps. I am also thankful for her Christ-like example. She was an inspiration.
