To the Brown family: I had the privilege of working with Maurice at MPG (and Classic). I want you to know what a difference Mo made to our company and our people. If the measure of a person is the lasting impact they leave behind, you can be assured Mo left an indelible mark here at MPG. He was respected and admired by all who had the opportunity to work with him, a consummate professional and a great teacher. In dealing with his own terminal illness, Maurice's grace and dignity was another lesson for us all. We miss him.

I'll always remember Mr.Brown's sweet spirit, as he would come visit Fayth and I as we were in college. He never left without praying over us. Such a loving man and a kind heart. He would light up any room with his smile. My heartfelt sympathy and love to the family.

Mo was a co-worker of mine. At anytime I needed words of wisdom. He was the man to go to for clarity. He was a god send. That was stronger than most. His children were blessed with a great father. Wife was blessed with a great man. That will always be remembered. By the ones that he touched πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½

Maurice was a classmate of mine. My memories of him were of a kind and gentle young man. From reading the other condolences, I can tell that nothing changed into adulthood. My heart is saddened for your family's loss on this side of eternity. As a pastor once told me, those who die in the Lord only change their address! They are not lost! My prayers for you are that your happiest memories bring you comfort and joy and that you feel the nearness of God deeply until you are reunited with Maurice in eternity!
