Duane and Ann Marie Brown of Barry's would like to say thanks to all the police and first responders who helped Wednesday when their building collapsed. You'll never know how much they appreciate what you did and your efforts to help in an unexpected and chaotic situation. Again, thanks for your help.
The Browns also want to say thank you for all the kind posts on Facebook concerning their loss. They have just been overwhelmed by the kindness and support you've shown. It's times like these you appreciate how wonderful it is to live in a great small town like Hope.
The Brown family is taking it one day at a time in working through things. They're thankful to God that no one was injured and they also know the Lord is with them during this difficult time.
Finally, they wish to thank all their wonderful customers. Your support over the last 72 years has been amazing and it's been wonderful serving you and our community. Thank you for your support and prayers as they work through issues in the coming days.
