    Condolences and Prayers are going up for the entire family. May God continue to keep each of you lifted in strength and love.

    Mr. Brown was a nice man and a great neighbor. I always looked forward to seeing Mr. Brown but moreso during College Football Season. We would talk trash about the teams we didn’t like and we would beam with pride as we spoke of our individual teams; his FAMU and mine FSU. Fortunately we only had to play the others team once since I’ve known him and out of my respect to Mr. Brown I didn’t talk trash to him when his team loss. (That was a first for me, not talking trash.) I am going to miss my buddy. šŸ˜¢ šŸ˜”

    Everyone in the community knew and loved Mr. Brown. He will be deeply missed.

    Again, my deepest condolences to Patrice and the rest of the family.

    Sincerely, Brenda (The neighbor who loves FSU) ā¤ļø šŸ™šŸ½ ā¤ļø šŸ™šŸ½ ā¤ļø šŸ™šŸ½
