To Janyce, Dianna, and the entire Brown Family. You have my deepest, heartfelt sympathy as you travel thru these very dark days of bereavement. I ask God that He strengthen you in this difficult time and know that God is too wise to make a mistake and too just to be unfair. It is His will. Keeping you in my prayers.
