PS:
We regret that no one saw fit to notify his two surviving daughters of his passing. The news was found quite by accident.

It`s a real shame that he missed knowing his FIRST three children, Sherri Lynne, Linda Lee and Cynthia Louise. They would have made him proud.

Dear Brawdy Family,
My condolences to your family. Life never prepares us for such loss. The Bible promises that God will swallow up the sting of death forever! It also states that Jehovah God will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more. Rev.21:3,4. I hope these thoughts bring your family some comfort.
