So sad to read of Viola’s passing….such a wonderful lady…in the short time we got to know her she was always a joy to visit with….she will certainly be missed…she had a heart full of love bigger than herself

I cannot thank you enough for the thoughtful care that you and the staff at Brown McClay Funeral Home provided for my father’s service. He was a very special man and you made it feel like he was a part of your family as well. Your personal touches to his services made this day so special for us all.”
