Leigh, I am so sorry for your loss. I know it is so hard to lose our parents. The only real comfort in it all is the knowledge of how much they loved us and are not in pain or suffering. As you already know, it never gets any easier, it just becomes slightly more bearable. I will keep you all in prayer. I love you, girl!
R.I.P. daddy Gary. You truly meant so much to Johnny and I. You know you raised one heck of a gal and I am very blessed to call my best friend. Leigh Brown, you mean so much to me, to us. You, Bryan, Josh, and Adrien are our world. Please never forget that. Johnny and I are honored to be part of the family. Since we moved to Arizona, I know we were not in contact with you like we should have been. Life just gets so busy, and time goes by so fast. But I hope you know that you were loved so very much by us, and you will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We will miss you. Fly high in the clouds. And walk the streets of gold hand and hand with mama Georgia.
Love you daddy Gary. Always and Forever ????❤️????
