Life is but a stopping place, A pause in what's to be,
A restmg place along the road, To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys, Different paths along the way, We all were meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay. Our destination is a place, Far greater than we know. For some the journey's quicker, For some the journey's slow And when the journey finally ends, We ' ll claim a great reward, And find an everlasting peace, Together with the Lord.
The family of the late Mary Louise King Brown wishes to express deep appreciation for your many acts of love and kindness during her illness and homecoming. May God' s abW1dant Blessings be showered upon each of you.

Mrs. Mary Louise King Brown was born on April23, 1945, in Dallas, Paulding County, Georgia, to the late Mr. James King and Mrs. Jenelle McGregor King. She was the oldest of three siblings.
Mary's family moved to the Roswell, Fulton County, Georgia community where she attended Bailey-Johnson Elementary and High School. She was a member of the Graduation Class of 1965.
Mary attended church in her Roswell community and became a member of Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church under the late Reverend J. J. Grogan where her father served as a Deacon.
On June 1, 1966, Mary became the bride of Mr. Milton Howard Brown, Sr. and from this union two children were born, Milton Howard Brown, Jr. and Sherika Lenaye Brown. Mary and her family lived in Atlanta where she was employed with Clean-Rite Products for 30 years and rose to the rank of supervisor.
After a stroke, Mary lived her latter days at Roswell Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
Mary was preceded in death by her parents Mr. and Mrs. James King. She leaves cherished memories for her husband, Milton Howard Brown, Sr.; son, Mr. Milton Howard Brown, Jr.; daughter, Ms. Sherika Lenaye Brown; a grandson; sister, Ms. Billy King; brother, Mr. James King, Jr.; 3 nieces, and a host of other relatives and friends.
Mrs. Mary Louise King Brown answered God's call, departed this earthly life, and entered into eternity on May 17, 2009 at North Fulton Regional Hospital .
God saw the road was getting rough , The hills were hard to climb,
He gently closed those loving eyes, And whispered, "Peace be thine."
The weary hours, the days of pain, The sleepless nights are passed
The ever patient worn out frame, Has found "Sweet Rest at Last.''
