The kindest most loving soul I’ve ever known. Thank you for all you have done for me over the years. I’ll never forget playing poker and eating cheese and crackers. You taught me how to ride a bike, drive a car, and mow the grass. Most importantly you taught me what to look for in a significant other and what a loving relationship means. You and mom have always been an inspiration to me. Thank you for your patience and guidance. I’m going to miss you so much, I already do. I love you so much it hurts me.
Forever in my heart!
FOREVER IN MY HEART!
A limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hearing a voice that says, grieve not for me. Remember the best times, the laughter, and the song. The good life I lived while I was strong. Continue the heritage, I’m counting on you. Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through, my mind is at ease, my soul is at rest. Remembering all how I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small. Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls. I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin; until the day comes we’re together again.
Rest In Peace Whitey
John 14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe in me.
2 In my father’s house there are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again.
My thoughts and prays are with the family and friends of Whitey Brown. he was such a kind man, a wonderful coworker. he will be missed.
