I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Doris Redmond Brake The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, even during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. By prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Philippians 46 May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of God’s kingdom. Local ministry volunteer

To Ms. Brake’s family, I was blessed to work with Ms. Brake many years at Nash General and Nash Day. In fact she trained me at medical transcription. She made going to work enjoyable. She always had a laugh to share or words of wisdom. She was a wonderful friend. I am so glad I had the honor of knowing her. She loved each and every one of you and spoke of you often. May God bless you all. I know you will miss her. Jo Turnage
I worked with Ms Brake at Nash general hospital. She was one of the sweetest kindest person I have ever had as a friend. I loved her dearly and I have no doubt that she set a great example for Christians and I know she is now with her Lord and Savior and I will see her again. I will miss her smiling face and her sweet voice. She is definitely our loss and heavens gain. To her family I send heartfelt sympathy for your loss.
