Kim and I are grieved for you all in your loss of Mr. Brower. A real man with an honest nature. On getting to know him I found that he cared and would give me encouragement when we met at the mill and later at Westmoore. He always told me to do things right. I appreciated that greatly. He will be missed. May God cradle you all in His loving arms in your grief and in the days to come. We love you. Bruce and Kim Williams
