Words to Live by: Accept what is, Let go of what was, Have faith in what will be. Bill Brown blessed me and my family with discounted Airline tickets to our first family reunion in Columbia South Carolina. We were grateful for your kindness then and I am truly happy to have met you on earth. Until we meet again in the other plane of existence. May your family be at peace.
