It was time for Grace to be with her loving husband Garold and son Lanny again. My family lived across the street on Rittenhouse until a house fire on April 13, 1964 caused us to move away. The Marquis family made me feel like a member of their own. Lanny was a big brother to me. Peace to the relatives of Grace during this time of remembrance.

We hadn't seen Aunt Grace for a couple of years, but we've always loved her and kept her in our prayers. Larry and I extend our sympathies to the rest of our family. Prayers for all. ???
