Babies Xavier Stanislaus Brown and Josephine Rose Brown

Baby Xavier Stanislaus Brown. Born silent and sleeping on June 16, 2024, Baby Xavier was the deeply treasured and longed-for son of Catherine and Charles. Though his time with us on earth was brief, he brought immense love and joy to his family. He will be forever loved and deeply missed by his parents, adoring big brother Theodore, loving grandparents Greg & Sue and Lori & Jeff, and a wide circle of aunts, uncles, and cousins. "Held for a moment, but loved for a lifetime." A Memorial Mass in celebration of Xavier's life will be held Saturday, July 18th at 10:30AM at Our Lady of Victory Basilica in Lackawanna, NY. All who wish to honor Xavier's memory are welcome to attend.

Baby Josephine Rose Brown. On June 30, 2026, our hearts were filled with both boundless love and profound sorrow as we welcomed our precious baby, Josephine Rose, into the world too soon. Josephine is being greeted in Heaven by her brother, Xavier. She leaves behind here on earth her heartbroken but eternally grateful mother, Catherine, adoring big brother, Theodore, loving grandparents Greg & Sue and Lori & Jeff, and a wide circle of aunts, uncles and cousins. The only thing our sweet baby ever knew was love. Though we did not get to hear her laugh or watch her grow, she has forever changed our lives and our hearts. "We carried you every second of your life, and we will love you every second of ours." A Mass of Christian burial in celebration of Josephine's life will be held on Saturday, July 18, 10:30AM at Our Lady of Victory Basilica in Lackawanna, NY. All who wish to honor Josephine's memory are welcome to attend.

Those in attendance at Xavier and Josephine's Mass are welcome to dress in vibrant/colorful clothing as we are celebrating the lives of tiny saints who are in Heaven.
