To the Family of Mrs Katie Brown we are so sorry for your lost. Our parents had been friends for years. They have both passed but we wanted you to know we cared.

Growing up as a childhood friend to her late son Daniel & neighbor Christopher Baylor on Warfield Drive in the 60's, Mrs. Brown treated us as family. I will always remember her warm smile & kindness.
