James Brown

Rest Easy Uncle...I will always remember you fondly addressing my Mom saying...'Hello Cora Belle'!!!! I am sure your FAMILY members were overjoyed to see you. ALL of you are with the Lord now...that's a BLESSING!

You preached your own funeral! You were a great man!

RIP! My teacher and mentor!

May god comfort the family, May you Rest in peace

To my beloved uncle I had the pleasure of knowing you since 1981, may you RIP

Uncle Henny was a good man who always gave to others. Our family will miss him dearly but we know he's in a much better place. Rest in peace, and we'll see you on the other side.

May you Rest in peace Mr. Brown

To his beloved nephews, nieces, distant relatives, church family, friends and his many acquaintances. I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt condolences to each of you. As a distant relative I too feel the pain of his departure and miss his great companionship. I have so many fond memories of him he treated me like a close relative. As a tribute I personally can say that he was a devout Christian and a faithful parishioner and the greatest automobile mechanic I have ever known if it could be fixed he could do it! I was privileged and honored to have known this great man who always gave his best at whatever he did. Family be reminded that blessed are the dead which die in the Lord for death is not the end it is the beginning of their eternal resting place in heaven. Be blessed and may God mend our broken hearts! Rev. David l. Simmons, Sr.

Mr. Brown it has been a pleasure to have known you all these years. God BLESS YOUR SOUL!!

My Dearest Uncle Hennie. WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN WHAT A DAY OF REJOICING IT WILL BE, WHEN WE ALL SEE JESUS WE WILL SING AND SHOUT THE VICTORY. HE WAS CLEARLY CHOSEN BY GOD TO LIVE TO BE 108. WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE PEARLY GATES OF HEAVEN GOD AND JESUS BOTH STOOD UP AND SAID 'WELL DONE MY BELOVED SON AND FAITHFUL SERVANT, COME ON IN AND WELCOME BACK HOME. WHAT A DAY OF REJOICING WHEN HE WALKED THROUGH THE PEARLY GATES OF HEAVEN. JUST BEING IN HIS PRESENCE WAS A BLESSING. I WAS SO HAPPY THAT ALL OF HIS GREAT -GREAT NIECES AND NEPHEW (Cora Bell's) grand children were able to meet the Uncle we would gloat and smile about. Each day of my life I would say to people with pride, I have an uncle that is 100 years old. Each birthday I would say his new age. The smiles I would receive when I said his age.

I can vividly remember observing my mother and father's faces when they would see a White and Carolina Blue DeSoto drive in their yard with Uncle Hennie as the driver. 'Cora Belle' as he fondly called her was always filled with delight as she greeted her Uncle Hennie As he would journey back to Norwood Street, his 'Cora Belle' would worry until she received that awaited phone call, he had made it home safely. I would always remind her, God was at the wheel. A salute to our World War II Veteran. Rest In Paradise Uncle Hennie. We loved you, and you will surly be missed. Jacob, Jacobia and Deborah Sharpless Evans

May he Rest in peace

UNCLE HENNNIE WILL TRULY BE MISSED, BUT TO BE ABSENT IS TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD. REST IN PEACE UNCLE HENNIE.

May God comfort the family at this hour of need

We, the family of Uncle Henny, will truly miss him. However, in his passing, we must not forget that for each cloud, there's a rainbow; for each shadow, the sun; and for each parting, memories when sorrow is done.

I did not know Mr. James Henry Brown; however, I know the family of Deborah Sharpless-Evans. She always spoke very lovingly of 'Uncle Henny.' Condolences to the family. Uncles are special, they offer lots of joy and wisdom. Farewell words were not spoken, he was gone before they knew it and only God knows why. May precious memories help sustain the family during the days, weeks and years to come. Mother Cora Bell Sharpless was the oldest niece and the mother of the Deborah Sharpless-Evans Family.

Rest In Peace And Heaven Uncle Henry.

To the Family, although he was not a blood relative, Uncle Henny always treated me like one; Cherish the moments and know that you will forever be in my prayers. Be Blessed.

I am sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. I hope the family will find some comfort and strength in Jesus promise of the earthly resurrection(Acts 24:15)and the renewed Paradise earth, where death will be no more and no family will mourn the death of a loved one.-Revelation 21:3,4;John 5:28,29;Luke 23:43. May GOD(Psalms 83:18)grant you peace and comfort now, during this grievous time.-Matthew 5:4.

May the grace of God give the family peace and comfort. May he rest in peace.
