Dear Geraldine, Mark & family:
I did enjoy visiting your father with my husband (Chris Brown) at his farm house. He had a way of making you feel right at home. We also took our son Christopher to meet him when he was a baby and my mother when she was here visiting from Tanzania. We have a picture of Uncle Warren with Chris & Christopher. He was truly an amazing man and please take comfort in knowing that he is in a better place in heaven.

My best memories of being with Warren were at the farm. Riding the tractor, petting the kittens, watching the cows being milked, sitting on the big front porch, and marveling at Alverna's giant ferns! Warren always quietly smiled at us as we played in his world.

I will always remember my grandpa as a strong and gentle, loving man. I'm glad my kids got to know him. Rest in peace, Grandpa Brown.
