My friend was a joy to know and love. She and I talked for many years about the secret things of God. She was outspoken to a fault and so am I. We cherished each other´s opinions and views. I was able to disciple her for many years as we studied the Bible together at my home on Saturday mornings. I was one of her Sunday school teachers at Prince of Peace M.B. Church and she was an attentive student. I shall see her again in our Fathers Kingdom. God bless her years on earth.

I was fortunate and blessed to have known Sister Delores Brown. She was vibrant, outspoken, and a person of conviction who was happy to swim against the tide. I always loved her wisdom given to me in the storms of my life. I was honored to call her my friend. I will see her again in our Fathers Kingdom one day.
