A precious one from us is gone, a voice we love is still; a place is vacant in our hearts which never can be filled. God knew she was tiring and the hills were hard to climb, so He closed her weary eyelids and whispered, "PEACE BY THINE."

Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time of sorrow. May God's Love comfort and keep you in the days ahead.

My heartfelt sympathy is extended to the family of Mrs. Emma H. Brown. I work with her daughter, Mrs. Emma B. Townes (Dillard's), and she often spoke so lovingly about her mom. Please know that others are thinking of you all during this very difficult time. God bless you.
