Resolution of Respect
In Loving Memory of
Eddie Lee Brown Jr.
Though your days on the earth were too brief and the grief at your loss is deep, we draw comfort from the knowledge that you are in the hands of the Lord where there is neither darkness nor pain.
Whereas, Eddie Brown Jr. passed from this life on July 19, 2025.
Now, therefore, be it resolved that we take comfort from the Word of God:
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. St. John 14:27
Therefore, be it further resolved that we bow to a greater Will than our own and rest in the knowledge that there is no hurt that God cannot heal.
Humbly submitted,
Bishop Leroy Lane
