Lipscomb Family:
\nI wanted to send sincere condolences from the Browns. I personally recall fondly childhood memories of getting to visit \/ stay with the family and how Uncle Ted tied everything together and made sure this only child felt welcome hanging out with everyone! I have referenced trying ‘blue mashed potatoes’ many times as sampled in Ponchatoula with your family!
\nOur sympathies are with you all at this super challenging time.
