                         Monday, March 11, 2013

  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and remembrance of 
Glynis Brown, a kind woman who was devoted to her family, church and 
friends. She had a warm and kind spirit, a passion for the helping 
others and serving her Church.
  Sister Brown was a long time resident of Fort Worth. She matriculated 
through the Fort Worth Independent School District and graduated from 
Eastern Hills High School. She worked as a secretary for Fort Worth ISD 
and married her friend in Christ, Mr. Douglas E. Brown. In 1993, she 
became the First Lady of Great Commission Baptist Church where she 
became known as the life and heartbeat of Pastor Brown.
  Sister Brown was very active in her Church; she began the Sisters In 
Effect Ministry for youth ages 13 through 18 and performed pre-marital 
counseling. She touched many lives and warmed the hearts of the 
worshippers.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor and remembrance 
of Glynis Brown, whose warm and kind heart touched many lives. I offer 
my condolences and deepest sympathy to her husband, my pastor the 
Reverend Dr. Douglas E. Brown; to her daughters, Phairen Yaites and 
Kaitlyn Brown; to her extended family members; and to her Great 
Commission Baptist Church family and many friends. May her soul rest in 
peace.
