To the Brown Family We are deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Brown. When we first met him, 17 years ago, his kindness to our family was immediate and instinctive, and never wavered as the years passed. His incredible generosity in dressing up as Santa Claus, and visiting our home in those early years, ensured that the wonderful magic of Christmas was indelibly etched in our young daughter's memory. We will miss him deeply; vaya con Dios, Mr. Brown.
