    Penny and family we were sorry to hear about Aunt Grace. I loved going to the family gatherings . Aunt Grace was so nice to me and she was so kind. Her and Aunt Darlis would always be looking out for my Dad like loving sisters do. Aunt Grace always had a smile for me and I was fortunate to have her for my Aunt. She will be remembered fondly .
