I am saddened to read of the loss of my Aunt Grace. I have many memories of Uncle Vance, Aunt Grace, Lois and Dick coming to visit us when I was a child when our family was living in Haugen, wisconsin. I am sorry to say I lost track of Aunt Grace after the death of Uncle Vance and then at the death of Dick in Africa. Kathleen and Richard, you have our sympathy. I remember so well her zest for life, her smile, and her snapping brown eyes. Our condolences. Diane( Pluntz) Rowe

Loved my aunt grace and am saddened that she passed. For many years Vance and Grace would visit us at Christmas when I still l still lived in Haugen WI. Dick and Lois generally came along. I was 13 when we moved to Indianapolis where Grace lived as well. We lived close enough that Marg and I visited separately, quite often. She always had cookies or pie on hand even if she didn't know I was coming. I miss those times. I notice there was no mention of Sonny, Judy's brother. I would like to hear from him if he is still alive.
