In Memoriam

Brown, Sarah (Ruth):
Time flies; where have the eleven years gone since you left us? I remember our last phone call like it was yesterday, the day before your passing. I didn’t know that it would be the last time we would speak. I’m grateful it was like any other call—fun and full of laughter and memories. You never let on to me that you were in your last days. You are always in my thoughts. Miss you, Mike.xx
