As some of you know, our mother and father have recently spent quite a bit of time in the hospital. Much of what is going on with their health has been attributed to the bout with Covid in February. Mom's most recent stay has been the scariest so far. And, as always, dad will not leave her side despite needing his own rest. She is not out of the woods yet but, thankfully, things seem to be turning around. She will most likely spend several more days in the hospital to monitor her improvements. Needless to say with all that's been going on dad has been unable to attend the auctions and "do his thing". We know they would kill us for doing this but we know that they are going to have some hard times coming. Financially they have struggled to get by but yet would give anyone that needed it their last dollar. They have never asked for anything and always insist on paying people back. We just want to be able to give them the means to continue to do the things they've always done. To give dad some peace of mind that he doesn't have to work twice as hard now, at a time when he needs to rest.

Thank you, to all of you for the prayers, messages, and phone calls.
Love, 
The Brown Family
