To Brown Family... Artie & I were classmates. He was a wonderful man. My sympathy to the family. I married James Randall ( Artie's first cousin & Robert Brown's nephew). If any of the children or Billy or his kids want geneology information on the Brown family and their roots, just let me know because I researched it and have info from when the Browns left Newport, Arkansas. Email or call me.. May God continue to comfort you...Love, Cooky Whyte Randall (Ruth Whyte Gaffney's daughter)

Aunt Louise and Family and Yvonne and Travis:
It will be the little things
that you will remember
the quiet moments, the smiles,
the laughter.
And although it may
seem hard right now,
it will be the memory
of these little things
that help to push away the pain
and bring the smiles back again
You are in my thoughts and prayers
