A porch summit for the Browns

Wendy and Warren Brown welcomed Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown to their home on Lynber Lane Thursday afternoon to discuss funding for pediatric Cancer Research.

WTOL TV 11 was there as were a couple other reporters.

Senator Brown gave his support to the local Browns' efforts.

On Saturday at 11 a.m., the local family will be holding a Celebration of 11-year-old Alexa Brown's life at the First United Methodist Church.

Wendy Brown said the attendance is expected to be huge and reported her daughters are working on a special video for the service. See details and photographs from Thursday's meeting and the memorial in next week's issue of The Clyde Enterprise.
