Dad took a turn for the worse yesterday. He went into a diabetic coma with seizures after spending the night throwing up and being too tired to drink/eat. His blood sugar, oxygen level, and blood pressure are all scary low today.

Since he has decided to no longer treat the cancer, his body is shutting down. He wants to die soon, peacfully and painlessly. All we can do is offer him pain medication and cold water until his body shuts down. He can't respond to us, but he can hear us. He is sleeping deeply.

I'll keep you posted if anything changes good/bad.

Please pray for Dad. That he will pass away soon without much pain and be with Mom again.

Thank you.

Uncle Jack is so very thankful he is in Utah right now and that he spent some time with Phil today. It is very difficult for all of you - and Phil - but we are all praying that Phil will not have feeling for this suffering as he is passing on to his new life with Netta, his parents, brothers, and sisters. With the wonderful Brown/Whiting heritage, I know your Mom and Dad will be joking and laughing while they await their future reunions with you. They will always be watching over you. Much love and prayer to all of you. Call Uncle Jack at Cynthia's if you need him.

I'm so sorry for all that you are going through. I suppose one good thing about my mom passing quickly is that we didn't have to really watch her suffer for very long. I hope that you will all be at peace and that Uncle Phil will be able to join his sweet wife again soon.
Love, Kara Southwick Allen

Many are praying for your swift and safe arrival home President Brown. We love you dearly. We will always love you dearly. You are, and will always be like a beloved father to many of us.

May God’s peace, which you have certainly earned, be granted unto your familiy, and unto all of us who love you as well.
