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.

Ronnie, we were so saddened to learn of your father's
passing...not for him since we know he is in the presence of
Jesus. But we know how much you and Gin and the boys will
miss him. We would love to speak to you and can be reached
at 678-736-3209. May God comfort all of you with His
promises
Ronnie, I knew your father-in-law when I was on the Police Department. He was a good and kind man and will be missed.

We were sorry to hear about your fathers passing.
We buried our dad last month. May GOD comfort you
during this time. May your memories of your dad
give you peace. So sorry for you loss.
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 !
