Condolences
The family of Donald “Don” Brown has received the following condolences.
I want to offer my condolence. I cleaned for Don for almost a year and so enjoyed the many talks we had every week especially about his mail and I will miss . He teased me calling me the German girl and I loved to tease him back about his mail and the Publisher Clearing House, etc. I am so sorry I had a conflict and could not come to his memorial. I would so love to talk to a family member if they could contact me.
Brandi and Family, We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your grandfather. We wish you as much peace as possible at this difficult time. Prayers to you all.
