Francis Jerome Brown

Kelly, you know how our families were connected in this way and that through school over the years and will continue to be connected through the years. You and the family have my deepest condolences on your dad's passing. Please know though that he did live a long life and was battling his illness for a long time but now he is at peace and you all need to be at peace with the fact that he was very happy to have the family that all of you provided him with. One love. Cornel Reynaud...

May you all be filled with comfort during this time. Each of you are a branch from your parents hold on to your upbringings. You are all wonderful people continue with the legacy your parents have given all six of you. God will keep you all if you just continue to trust him. In our prayers

Dear Robert,
I know your heart is heavy at this point but know that this burden will lighten as time goes on. I lost my father at age 40 and it seemed far too early for me; however, for him it was simply his time. Though I miss him dearly, he left a legacy filled with love for me to continue on my own journey and to help others on their journey. I pray for you and your entire family that you will soon be relieved in knowing that he is in God's providential care...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Worked with Francis for years in detention. He worked hard and played hard. He had a quick humor and I came to respect him greatly as a co-worker and a friend.
