Sad News

Last week, John's sweet Grandpa passed away. He had been sick for a long time and he just grew tired of fighting. He was an incredible man and a hero to not only John but to our country. He led an amazing life and had a major impact on John and his family. JD is actually named in honor of him as Grandpa's name is John Dewitt. John was very excited at the opportunity for our son to carry on his grandfathers initials. We are very fortunate that we actually got to visit with Grandpa 3 weeks ago in Knoxville while he was in the hospital. John, Davis and I drove up over the weekend and spent the afternoon with him. It was very cool to introduce JD to his namesake. While Grandpa may not have realized who JD actually was... he knew there were 3 people in the room who cared very, very much for him. It was a great experience and I feel blessed we had the opportunity to spend some time with him before he passed away. Grandpa Brown will be terribly missed. Please continue to pray for the family. Thank you!
