Dear Friends in Christ -
Our community mourns this week over the loss of Army First Lieutenant Thomas J. Brown, a son of Shelton, beloved by so many in this community. We hold in our prayers his mother Carol Brown and his twin brother Timothy Brown. In Tom's honor, a memorial contribution has been made on behalf of the people of St. Paul's (from the Rector's Discretionary Fund) to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Brown's wake will take place at Riverview Funeral Home today from 3:00-8:00 p.m. His funeral will take place at St. Jude's Church, 707 Monroe Turnpike, Monroe. He will be buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery on December 11th. A tribute to Tom is available on-line at http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/tjbrown.htm.
May Tom's family - and all of us - know God's tender loving care as we mourn the loss of Tom and as we celebrate his life.
Faithfully yours,
Janet+
