Mom:  After God made you He threw the mold away, but you have given each of us a piece of you.  Strength, wisdom, love,  and teaching us many of life's necessities and most of all your love and caring. 
You and Dad have left a legacy that will last for many generations.  
We will miss you both very much, but have memories (both good and bad) that will last forever.  Only one thing, you never wrote down your recipe for your beef goulash!  I know like you said to me a little of this, a pinch of that ...etc. 
I know you and Dad are dancing on streets of gold with Our Savior and your sons and all who have gone before you.  Till we again, we will love you both a bushel and a peck and miss you and remember you both forever. 
Love you always,
Phil and Patti

Grandma, i remember visiting with you while I was pregnant with Sophia. You must've saw the fear in my eyes and my heart while we were talking about mothering 2 children, I told you I was scared I couldn't love my next as much as I loved my first. You took me by the hand and told me so sweetly, "do not worry, you're going to do great. Your heart is bigger than you know." A few years later you told me how proud you were that mothering came so easily to me, you told me how great of a job I was doing with my girls and how well behaved they were. (Luckily for me they were good that day) however that meant the world to me, it was so important coming from you. You smiled at me being a mom so lovingly. ❤ I strive every single day to be the best mother I can possibly be for my girls. Growing up seeing how special you made every single person in our family feel so special was an amazing learning experience. I will never have your patience, but I will strive to show my girls how much they are loved as individuals every day.

Grandma, if Pop-pops was the Foundation of our Family, you were certainly his, and our, Bedrock.  Thank you for providing your love, your strength and your determination to this big, wonderful group of people.  We are all bound by a ribbon made from the mutual love of Pop-pops and his Doll.  You were a source of inspiration and admiration to us all and you will be missed greatly.  I am glad that you have been freed from the bonds of pain and can go be with Pop-pops in Heaven.  I hope that throughout my life I have made you proud to call me grandson and "Champ."  We will always love you with all of our hearts...

Nannie Brown was a strong women to say the least.  I remember her telling how she had to wash clothes outside using stones to help get them clean.  I loved riding her tandem bicycle with her when I was young.  She would always laugh at Donnies crazy jokes that only he would get away telling her.  Love Ya Nannie Brown and I'm sure Pop-pops was there to great his Doll!

Mom, thank you for the magic and wonders of childhood, the many times you labored through the nights preparing for chores to be completed, unfailingly providing for the necessities of daily life, for seeing each of your children as individuals and realizing the strengths and weaknesses in each one, for encouragement to reach our full potential, for guidance through each phase of our lives, for listening and directing towards a path to face what life brings our way. You have had a full and rewarding life.  Your legacy will live on for many generations to come that will be shared with our children, their children, and on through the ages.  I keep hearing the train whistles blowing, which brings comfort to my heart knowing you are with Dad.  I will miss you dearly but will always remember how you both were there for each of your children through good times, sad times with your words or sometimes tears. You set before us a standard of a truly amazing Mom. Love, Bunny  Just like a caterpillar changes to a beautiful butterfly, you are transformed.

Don and family-so sorry to hear of your beloved Mom's passing. Praying for the comfort only the Lord can provide.

Grandma, You were an amazing inspiration to all of us. I hold dear many memories I have with you. There were so many of us but you always made each of us feel special. I loved spending time with you. From the stories you shared, the unconditional love, tea, and my favorite, snuggling on the couch to watch the story. (Days of our Lives) When I became a mom, you gave me words of wisdom and encouragement. You set the bar high with your examples. Thank you for all the love, wisdom, and guidance. You leave a hole in our clan but we all will do our best to make you proud. Until we meet again, love you a bushel and a peck! Forever I will be your teeny tiny teddy bear! ❤

So sorry for your loss. Your grandma brought so many wonderful people into the world. She will be missed. Rest in peace

With heartfelt condolences to all of you,
I will never forget her strength and tenderness... Rest In Peace, we all gained an incredible angel to watch over all of us

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child.  Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Grandma, I'm so grateful to have sweet memories of you. I loved being able to ride my bike over at any time and sit on the swing with you. Drinking tea, watching you tend to the garden, sneaking sugar cubes from the kitchen or a chocolate donut. You were always the same and loved all of your grandchildren. Thank you for that. Love you, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck. `

Gram...thank you for always being a beacon of strength. For always taking pride in yourself. For being a force.  For taking pride in your appearance and showing off your style, class and elegance.  With as many children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren you had, you made each of us feel special. Thank you for taking time each year when I was a child to make me strawberry cake.  Thank you for showing me how grown up I was by letting me use your beautiful China tea cup.  I'm sure Pops is happy to have his Doll with him once again.

Darlene we are sorry for the your loss of your mother.  We know how special she was to you and your family.

Rest in peace Grandma Brown. Thank you for being a role model for our entire family with your strong will, unconditional love, and the sweetness of sugar. You will definitely be missed and you are loved a bushel and a peck. Prayers for our entire "Brown Clan" during this time.

We lost an amazing woman last night, my Grandma Brown is finally at peace. She was the most strongest and loving woman I have ever known. I loved sitting with her and listening to her many stories she shared with me. Even though our family is huge she always made me feel special. When things for me get hard I will always remember that every time she saw me she would hug me and whisper to me what a great Mom I am and how well I was doing with Lil Louie. If I become a quarter of the Great Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother & Great Great Grandmother that she was I wouldn't even be a spark in the great flame to which she was. I will always love, treasure and miss her dearly. Love❤you always Grams. I'm sure Pop-Pops was there to meet you with his never ending hugs.

Rest in peace Mrs. Brown.  You will be missed by many.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the whole family.
