IN MEMORY OF TIFFANY AND BILLIE BROWN
We have all seen them. Driving down a road, off to the side of the pavement, stuck in the ground, often surrounded by real or plastic flowers, we see a small cross. As soon as we it, we know what it means. Someone lost their life at that place. But what does that cross on the side of the road mean? What does that symbol standing alone on the landscape, communicate to us as we go by?
It tells us that someone who is loved is memorialized at that spot. It reminds us that something tragically significant happened there. The cross may serve as a warning, even change our behavior. It may encourage us to slow down, pay attention, put on our seatbelt, or even compel us to say a prayer of comfort for those who are hurting. Our prayers are certainly with the Brown Family as the mourn the loss of Billie and Tiffany. From now on as we drive the highway especially Interstate 40 we will reflect on the lives of these two dear individuals who meant so much to so many people. Even if there are no small wooden crosses there along the highway we won't forget them. Their lives will help us to say a prayer of gratitude for our own safety and protection as we travel. Mother and Daughter now safe in the arms of Jesus where they now have the safety and protection that we all long for someday. Through their lives we can become more dedicated to serve the Lord so someday that reunion we all long far will be a reality. Thank you Billie and Tiffany for the love you shared with so many folks during your lifetime here on this earth. You will be greatly missed.
