Life Note: Broken Bow Records Music Group founder Benny Brown and family are mourning the loss of his wife, Carolyn, who passed this week. "It is with sorrow and sadness in our hearts that we relay the passing of Carolyn Brown, the wife of our founder Benny Brown," a company statement reads. "We know that the Nashville and country community is just as moved by the news as we are here at BBR. We ask on behalf of the family that the community give them time to grieve their loss privately." In lieu of flowers, donations in Carolyn’s name can be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (Nashville chapter) in honor of Tori Church, a family friend of the Browns. Contributions can be mailed to CFF, 4825 Trousdale Dr., Suite 238, Nashville, TN 37220, or made online at cff.org.
