Not sure what to say?

We were so sorry to hear of Mr. Brown's passing. He was a wonderful man. We attended Our Savior with Mr. and Mrs. Brown and I have many fond childhood memories of them. He and my father used to sit and talk for hours when they visted our home. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
