My sincerest condolences to the Brown family. May "the God of comfort" continue to supply you with a portion of his holy spirit to strengthen and comfort you during your time of sorrow.( 2 Corinthians 1:3,4)
Family, I am sorry for your loss. Almighty God promises to undo the problems Adam brought on the human family (Romans 5:12, 15). By means of God's kingdom (for which we pray at Matt 6:9-10) and the ransom sacrifice of his son, Jesus (John 3:16), suffering, and death will be removed and loved ones resurrected – Acts 24:15.
