I apologize for the late condolences, my family and I lived next door to Brownlow for many years when I was a child. He and his wife were absolutely wonderful people. My father had a heart condition and passed away in 1968, and your dad came over that Christmas Eve morning and sat with us as we awaited ems arrival, he and your mom were there for our mom through our loss, as only a wonderfully caring couple would. Brownlow was a true blessing. Our thoughts and prayers remain with your family.

I would like to offer my deepest sympathies to you. All of us have experienced the loss of a loved one. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are never alone. Turn to the Holy Scriptures for guidance and to help soothe your heart. Psalms 34;18 assures us that God is near to those broken at heart and crushed in spirit. And you can also visit jw.org for more comfort .Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I didn't know Brownlow, but I understand he was a Christian. So that mean I will meet him some day. Diana, good news is you will see him again! Can't beat that, God is Good !
