13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
In pray for the family during this time,
Love, Anthony & Paula
My love and condolences..
It’s krazy cause fo me, Miki had that personality that wen I heard, I had to keep saying.. wow fr?
As long as we have been with the Browns I can remember Mikki. A cookout, dinner, church, having her own cookouts, thanksgiving, Xmas, and on and on.
And no matter how many times she saw us, she would always greet us with the biggest, most welcoming smile🌹 “hey Mont and Shaun😏”
I kno fo me, she became official wen she would let me come over to her house by the church and drive her lil car. 🤔 I believe it was red, however, don’t quote me. Anywho, although I knew I was bad a(*), she never let on that she felt that way. She would always just tell me be sure you put some gas back in there😎
I’ll missMiki, as I’m sure u all will as well. Wen my big bruv and I was talking the other day, we both were intrigued that we didn’t look at Miki as our “step cousin.”
She was just cousin to us🤷🏾♂️🌹
Sleep well and let the sky shine bright with that big, lovely, & welcoming smile😘
Keep smiling,
Lil Twin aka Mont🤪

To the family of Sheila,
I knew her at A-E when we were varsity cheerleaders together. She was an energetic spirit! May she carry that energy into eternal life!
We Really Miss You SIs……
To the family our condolences. I have been a family friend for many years. Mickey and I bonded at Knoxville College. I will always remember her and cherish the memories of love and laughter. Rest easy in the arms of Jesus.
