Loris Brown

Loris Virginia Brown (Braren) passed away of natural causes and went to meet her loving husband of 48 years, Thaddeus Edward Brown, II at 1:03 PM on Thursday, November 23, 2017. Loris and Thad met outside the gates of "The Great Substation in the Sky" and sat for Thanksgiving dinner at the greatest of all tables that was prepared ahead of them. She is preceded in death by her parents, Marie Clement Braren of New Orleans, LA and Friederick Stuck Braren of Hamburgh, Germany who were also present at the Thanksgiving feast. They send their regards to everyone but stated that we had to wait a bit longer because only Loris RSVPed for the event. She is resting comfortably at the beach today and when asked she did say that she would miss Christmas this year but that she is glad that she will not have to wrap all of those presents and cook so much.
