I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m praying for the family. I use to live next door to her n Mia on Kennray dr.
So very sorry for your lost. To lose a loved at anytime is tough, but to lose one so suddenly can be quite devastating.

To the family of Fannie Brown. I met Ms. Fannie Brown when her & my mother Regina went to beauty school. It was always good laughs when my mom & Ms. Fannie would get together that left the door open for Michael, Mia & myself to get into trouble. I will always remember we had to wait for Ms. Fannie to get a hat before we could leave and go anywhere. Rest well beautiful & fly high.
