Dear Dean, Scott and family,
We are so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. You have our deepest sympathies, love and prayers.
I am sorry that we never met. Your Dad and my Father were first cousins. Your Dad’s Father and my Father’s Mother were brother and sister. My Dad’s Mother was Carmon (aka Queenie).
I would love to stay in contact with you and share more of the family tree if you’d like.
Feel free to reach me through this e-mail.
God bless and keep,
Dannie, Judy and Stephen Brown

Camp meeting was always great with Rev Floyd Flemming on hand. Our family shared Canaan Acres and AKRON churches because of Pastor Flemming. God bless all of you.
