I haven't seen her in years but the memory of her sense of humour & her love for Jehovah lives on. Not to long now n we'll all see her again. That time is just around the corner!

So many memories from my childhood are from sister brown. One of the kindest and most gentle souls I´ve had the pleasure to be around in my life. My mom and her were good friends and when I lost my mom sister brown was more than a mother figure she was also a friend.

I was very saddened to hear of Jane´s passing ! I knew her when she lived in Bermuda when I was a child. My memories of her are very special to me, she was a very kind, caring and very humorous person, she was a lot of fun and my sister and I enjoyed spending time with her and Brother Brown. When she had a first child, Andy, we would be over her house helping her by playing with him whilst she cleaned and cooked. We also got to play a little with Sarah before they left Bermuda to live in the USA.
Jane was the kind of person that made you feel special, she treated you like you was her favorite, but I found out years later that is how many of us young ones felt!
To her children- Jordan, Sarah, Kathryn, family and friends you have my sincere sympathy, may Jehovah comfort you during this difficult time and may all the wonderful memories of her sustain you until Jehovah calls her back to life in the very near future. It won´t be too long until we all can welcome hear back and enjoy her wonderful company again !

Jane Brown, there was no other like her! She held a special place in my heart. Always ready to listen when something was wrong, always always made everyone laugh around her. Her spirit was one of joy that always showed her deep love and devotion to our dear God, Jehovah. She loved him with every bit of herself! You could tell in her comments at the meetings and how she always was in her ministry. She always talked about my son and the wonderful job he was doing and as a teenager, that truly touched his heart. And mine as well. We certainly loved Jane so much for coming into our lives and bringing the Jane Brown experience that only she could!! We look forward to the time we will welcome her back no doubt with many many open arms of those who loved her and those she helped. What a wonderful resurrection party that is going to be!! She will be greatly missed.

It is with sadness I express my deepest condolences for your loss, Jane was one the sweetest sisters I had the pleasure of knowing. She was encouraging to me and my family. She graciously welcomed us when we came to Harbor Park congregation. Her love for Jehovah and the ministry was beautiful and infectious. I have some fond memories of her and look forward to seeing her soon with her happy disposition.

Words cannot express how I feel losing my best friend Jane. I can no longer push a button and talk for hours. We shared much together while she lived in Bermuda. But I am at peace knowing she is in Jehovah's memory and no longer suffering. To Jordan, Sarah, Katherine and Robin, she was a jewel, one of a kind. It won't be long, we will see her again.

Agape love,

Phobe
