Her Daughter Was Found Murdered In Molino. Now Sue Brown Has Written A Book
November 2, 2019
Sue Brown’s daughter was found murdered, her body found face down by Gibson Road in Molino.
It was Sunday, April 30, 2017, when 38-year old Anna Louise Brown was shot and killed; the search for her killer continues.
Anna’s death, along with a medical scare, has led Sue Brown to write her first book “Mourning Song,” an autobiography and a testimony to God’s faith. The book is available on Amazon.
Our desire in sharing this book, our story, is to encourage, offer hope and faith to others who are struggling with their own crisis in life, whether grief, a medical diagnosis, or other life altering event,” Brown said.
In her debut autobiography, Brown has written a concise and compelling narrative of her life. Focusing on two main crises that her family experienced, she has expressed with heartfelt emotion the highs and lows of these events and how they have impacted her family, friends and community.
The resolve and determination to rise from the ashes of grief and heartache to hope and joy, motivated her family to keep going toward healing and wholeness. Sustained by her faith, the author shares a riveting and encouraging, hope filled, healing message to her audience. She desires to be a blessing and help to all those who read her story and may travel a similar journey of their own.
From the book:
“Our story is written one moment, one word, one line, and one paragraph … one chapter at a time. It is written on the litmus paper of life, tested and proven over and over again with many joys, momentous occasions, and happy moments. And then, there are the unexpected events that alter our lives forever, leaving us with shredded heart and soul, a broken and empty vessel, an innate drive to prove the power of a loving and living God; a Creator who loves, with much compassion, an abundance of grace and mercy, to bring forth emotional and spiritual healing with a desire to perfect anyone who will trust and be willing to be broken. Our experiences, whether good or bad, how we respond and react to them, speak to our families, neighbors, acquaintances and friends as to whom we are, what we are made of, what we believe. Our choices, our knee-jerk reactions to the events that happen in our lives, steer our lives for the better, or worse and will have what is sometimes called a domino effect on everyone we are in contact with.”
Photos: Trunk Or Treaters Enjoy The Night
November 1, 2019
Several churches and community organizations held Trunk or Treat events Thursday night to provide a safe alternative for children.
Instead of going door to door in a neighborhood, children go car to car or tent to collect their candy.
“The turnout has been great, and the kids are having a great time,” Century Chamber of Commerce President Mary Bourgeois said during the chamber’s event at Showalter Park. It was the first time the chamber held a trunk or treat with several community groups and businesses taking part. Volunteers from Century Station of Escambia Fire Rescue were also on hand with a special witch’s brew, and a few brave souls took the plunge in a dunking booth despite cold windy conditions.
At Highland Baptist Church in Molino, children also enjoyed trunk or treating, receiving candy in family friendly environment.
