To the Allyn Kaye and the Wilson family, Brownie was loved and will be missed by many. He was tired and as a faithful servant, when God called, he obediently answered to receive his rest. Now family, you must rely on the strength of the Lord for comfort and peace during this time of transition. Sending my prayers....
