To Carl and the Poates Family,
I was saddened to hear of the passing of your mother who was not just a wonderful person but great grandmother and grand. She always had something positive to say to me and I will always cherish her love and friendship. I thank God for people like her who treated others with respect and never had anything bad to say about anyone.
Carl, your mother Grace was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her. She along along with her late husband Percy were dedicated individuals who worked very hard to make the lives of others within the Spotsylvania County Community better.
As an auxiliary lady/person with the FOP, Grace and Percy worked tirelessly to make the Rappahannock Lodge #15 what it is today. They both dedicated their lives toward providing for and taking care of the men and women in uniform. This would not only include members of the FOP but the VFW as well. Both will be greatly missed!
Family, keep looking up and look to Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith. Grace has gone from labor to reward!
My prayers and thoughts are with each of you and will continue to be in your direction, in the days, weeks and months to come.
Dea. Jose A. Brown
