I was sorry to hear of the death of your loved one. Maud Brown Lewallen was the sister of my grandmother, Myrtle Jospehine Brown Neve. I do not remember Bob Lewallen, but I do remember the twins, Amos and Andy Lewallen. One of them lived up the street from us on South High in Brady when I was in school with his family. I remember Aunt Maud. If any of you are interested in family tree information, please contact me.
