Judith MartinI'm so sorry to hear of Aunt Grace's passing. I remember so many wonderful family picnics (at Pets) and gatherings with all the Kenosha Martins. I also remember my dad taking us kids up to Aunt Grace and Uncle Alvin's apartment to watch television (we didn't have one in those days) on Sunday morning after Sunday school while we waited for my mother to get out of church. Very often the program was wrestling! Aunt Grace was always a sweet and fun lady.

mike and myrna fischerSo sorry to learn of Aunt Grace's passing. May God bless the family during this time. We, too, have many good memories beginning with my babysitting for Bob and Sandy on 24th Street and visiting and reunions. One of her recipes: Eggs a la Goldenrod will always be remembered. Grinding up bologna with pickles and making sandwiches with Aunt Alice and going on a picnic. Not forgetting Uncle Ray's great New Jersey tomatoes. Along with the Rambler we purchased we had some great times. Uncle Alvin was my favorite Uncle and he brought me a red silk hanky from the service. They were both wonderful! Prayers and thoughts are with the family.
