Eugene Brown
This is first of all to "Kippy" a very special person and caregiver. I have had the privelege of knowing her and receiving many blessings from her. Through my ministry at the VA I first came to know and be blessed by her and then by Eugene as I was his Chaplain for a period of time. To the family I send my deepest sympathy and regard. My you find celebration of life in your grief and may the grace of God abound in giving loving support to all. I am sorry to not be able to be present Saturday, but will be with you in spirit and prayer.

Sorry to hear about your husband passing. I never met him, but I know he was a very lucky man to have a wife as sweet as you. I regret that I will be away this weekend, and will not be able to pay my respects in person. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your Neighbor Fredd (at 113)

Our condolences to you
To the family of Eugene Brown:
On behalf of the St. Paul Baptist Church family, we extend our deepest sympathies in the transitioning of Eugene from this life into his eternal life with Christ. We are a body of believers that know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, so today we rejoice in knowing that Eugene is now praising with the angels in Heaven for his work here is completed, and this gives us an opportunity to, yet, finish our work here in that when God calls us home, we, too, can rejoice in Heaven with him.
We are here for you and if there is anything that you may need, please do not hesitate to ask of us. May God bless you, comfort you, and give you peace during this time.
