I received this just last night. I hate to be the one to pass it along, either, for I truly and whole-heartedly loved and respected President Stanley K. Bramwell.
The Bramwell's mailing address is in Pte. Stone's reply to my last message on 3/20/98.
-----------Forwarded message---------- I tried to send this last night when it came to me Atte, Aaron H. Davis ---StanBram
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 1998 09:25:42
From: Aaron Davis
Subject: Fwd: Pte. Bramwell
while I was on the computer here in Phuket, Thailand,
but the connection went out on me and I couldn't get
it sent.
I hate to be the one to have to pass on this message.
I know that all of us have deep respect for
President Bramwell and would have much rather heard
of some miraculous recovery, but such was not to be.
It is comforting to know that it was a quiet passing
in the comfort of his own home and with family present.
The message from Sis. Bramwell follows, and as she
wished, please read the list of emails it has gone to
and forward to any others of the old mission days
that may not have received word.
If anyone has the Bramwell's mailing address please
attach it to this message when forwarding it so that
those that wish (myself included as I am out of the
country and don't have my address book with me;
Aaron H. Davis
on their words of comfort to Sis. Bramwell be it a
card or letter (or an email using her return).
Please spread the word and remember the Bramwell's in
our thoughts and prayers.
