While I have several favorite memories, the one that sticks out the most is at our wedding. My father (who passed away 3/17/02) and Mr. Brown were supposed to give toasts to the bride and groom. Well, they both just cut up and everyone laughed and it was captured in a great photo of the two of them cracking up. The moments they shared after that just talking about getting together to go bowling and Mr. Brown checking on my Dad during his illness mean so much to me. My heart is so full. We shared some precious moments when I became his daughter-in-law and I'll always have them to cherish. Love, Michelle.
