Larry Brown was not only our father but he was our leader. He told us what was right, and what we knew was wrong. He taught us the ins and outs of every sport we know. From baseball to softball, basketball to volleyball he always made sure we did our best in everything we do even school never was there not a smile on his face. There's not one thing we would ask for but for his kids to be at peace once he is laid to rest. Our dad is in a better place now. See you soon daddy, Fly High… Love Tee-Tee and Steven

To my dad, as I sit here trying to put together words to describe what you mean to and how much I love you, I simply can't! Words are just not good enough. It's a feeling so deep, it's indescribable, unexplainable. You would to have my heart to understand. Losing you is a whole different feeling that yet again I can't put into words. You were a very strong man. You fought a good fight all the way to the end. I admired you strength and I'm so so proud of you dad. You were an amazing, smart man, kind and generous, with a funny sense of humor but still very stern and straight forward. You were the best dad God couldn't have given me/ us a better one. Dad you are my hero... LOVE ALWAYS DADDY'S GIRL TAMIKA ?
