The Brower Family,
We want to extend our deepest sympathy to each one of you upon the loss of Blaine. He is a neighbor in our Wayhaven Neighborhood where we have lived for 19 years now. My Uncle Johnny Cozort was friends with Blaine too. He always waved and smiled when he drove by our house at the end of Ridgewood and Wayhaven. We will miss seeing him. May God comfort, encourage, and support each one of you thru this difficult time. May God bless each one of you.
In Christian Love,
Tim, Amber(Cozort), and Corby Redburn
