Send flowers to the service of Deacon Pledger Browning
Sending love and prayers to the family. Mr Pledge was a very friendly and nice person. Always sharing a great smile and greeted everyone with respect. Even though he was my elder. He would always call me Mrs Lewis. May God continue to give the family strength. He is now resting in the bosom of God.
I have fond memories of running into Deacon Browning at church functions or around town in Madison. He would always give a firm handshake, and a hearty "Hello". It wasn't hard to feel better after his greeting. I always felt respected and blessed to know him. May God give his family peace, strength, and comfort during this time of transition. He will truly be missed. Rest well, Sir! Carol Williams Smith
