Sharon & Kitty, we are sorry to hear of Uncle Bob's homegoing but are rejoicing that we know he is with Jesus! What a reunion they are having today in Heaven - much greater than the Brown Family Reunions we experienced for so many years down here together! Having just lost my mom 4 months ago I know the void you will be experiencing but oh what precious treasures we have in our memory vault - cherish those! Whenever I think of Bob and Mary my heart & mind go back to when as a young teenager they took me to a live performance of "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" and then took me to a restaurant - neither of which I had ever experienced! I will never forget the experience and how special they made me feel! Love and prayers from Lima, OH - Jim & Brenda Webb (daughter of Lorraine Ross who was sister-in-law of Bob & Mary)
