We just wanted to send a note of love and sympathy to the Brown family as we unfortunately couldn't make it to the services. May Jesus welocme Dan into his loving arms and may choirs of angels comfort the family during this time and may you take solace that he is in a place free from pain and full of God's everlasting love.

My condolences to the entire family. I have know Dan for a long time dating back to the 70's when the family moved to Lawnsdale Rd. We used to give Dan a lot of grief over his love of Elvis when he was a "kid". I pray for those he has left behind, that they may find their way in life without his earthly guidance and love. Remembering this presence in your lives will last an eternity. Our love for others is truly what we leave behind.
