Dear Browning family,
I am from Venezuela, and I know years have passed since Mr Dwight passed away; but just yesterday I was talking with my father (96) about him. They were partners and. Mr Dwight kindly came to visit me when i was in summer camp many many years ago. He came with his wife Mrs. Emily and stayed more than an hour with me at the camp. My father opened in Venezuela 'Naragansa' and they both had business together. I can tell Mr Deight was a very very sweet and nice guy. I was only 10 years old, im now 56, but will always remember him. The best for his family. Blessings? Sonia

Dear Emily, Beverly & Bonnie,

It was with great sadness that I learned today of Dwight's death. My memories of him are of a ready smile for a little girl and of being a warm and caring man. I know that he will be greatly missed by all his family and friends.

I still have a roll of the coveted special Christmas paper that always made our Christmas mornings shine.

Love,

Sharon

Dear Emily and family, It was with great sorrow that we read of Dwight'death. My aunt, Dorothy Appleby, phoned to tell us the sad news and she forwarded the newspaper with the details. We only met Dwight on a few occasions but his memory will stay with us for a very long time. He was kind, generous and so very obviously adored his family. Our most sincere condolences to you Emily and to all your family. Louise and Gerry Duffy

Dear Mrs. Browning,



You may not remember us well but we were your neighbors on Massasoit Avenue in Countryside. We were saddened to learn of Mr. Browning's death. He always had a ready smile and a wave...and was the epitome of a gentleman. I am sure that you and your daughters will miss him dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Emily,

I had the great privilege of having you and Dwight as my godparents. He was a generous, warm, delightful man who brightened every room he entered. His Christmas wrapping paper was coveted in our household, but only used for the most special gifts - like than man himself.

Dear Emily, Beverly, and Bonnie,

I was saddened to hear of Dwight's passing. I remember his gentleness and smile from many years ago as a little girl. As kids, we felt very lucky when Mom would allow us to use his Christmas wrapping paper for "special gifts". My prayers are with you.



Sincerely, Layne
