I am expressing my deepest sympathy and empathy in the loss of Bro. Joseph H. Brown, Minister. My prayers for his wife Sister Phyllis Brown, his three sons, and the entire Brown family, friends and members of the Dale Avenue/Sandy Lane Church of Christ. A great man of God has fallen! He preached the Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ for fifty years! He fought a good fight, he kept the faith, and he finished strong!

My first Minister as an adult. As a young college graduate, relocating to the Richmond area, I was welcomed and embraced by the Brown family. My Grandfather having been an Evangelist himself, I never found my Faith wavering under the leadership of Bro. Brown. I saw him here in Atlanta a few years ago, and ensured I got a picture with him. It had been close to 20 years since, I'd seen him last and after a brief conversation, he remembered me. My heart is truly in sorrow for Sister Brown, Hugh, Loren & Virgil. A true Pioneer of the Gospel has transcended this world. May the Lord comfort as only He can, the family, friends and Sandy Lane Church. My love and prayers always!

Our hearts are saddened by the loss of Evangelist Brown. His work on the battlefield will always be remembered. Thoughts and prayers for the entire family as we all remember the words of 2 Timothy 4:7-8 which says,"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing".

We were saddened to hear of your loss of Bro. Brown. Our deepest sympathy goes out to your family and may you find comfort in God's pure word during this time and may He hold, comfort and give you the strength. God promise in Isaiah 46:4 that He will be our God through life because He is our creator and cares for us.
In Christian love, and prayer,
