Marion, When Cindy and I heard about Alton we began to recall so many wonderful memories. You guys provided such a great example to all of "the young couples" at Independent. We will always remember Alton and Marion Brown.

My deepest condolences to the .Brown family. Since death was not part of God’s original plan it is hard to accept and painful times to live. Realistically nothing will completely erase the pain you will. In my painful times of having lost a dear one to death I was able to find comfort in our Heavenly Father’s promise found in Revelation 21:3,4 where he promises to do away with this enemy and bring back all those sleeping in death. May you also find some comfort in these words.

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. I hope that the promise at 1 Thessalonians 4:14 will bring you comfort. Knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can be reassuring.

Dear Brown family, so sorry for your loss. Please remember Jehovah God hates death; He views it as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) He has a longing to conquer that enemy, to undo death by means of the resurrection. He yearns to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live again. Job 14:14&15.
