I offer my condolences to the family of Garnett Brown. I always called him "Tut." He was very special to me and my husband, George. We all attended the same university and shared many precious moment together. My sons, Eric and Rani, who are both musicians, idolized him. Tut and my husband transitioned in a span of time very close. George, my husband August 27 and Tut, my dear friend in October. My grief had increased now that the both of them are gone. I pray that time will ease the pain and grief rapidly. May God grant consoling grace to the passing of out loved ones.
