Aunt Betty, Bruce and Brian.
I was saddened to hear that Uncle Grover had passed. Gloria sent me an email to inform me and it came as a shock, as I hadn't known that he was ill. I will always remember his booming voice and his sense of humor. It was always good just to be around Uncle Grover. The reunions at Brookside and other family events were always special, but I especially enjoyed being there when Uncle Grover was present.
Our love and condolences go out to you all at this difficult time.

Betty, Bruce, Brian & families, I was saddened to read of Grover's passing. I know it leaves a huge hole in your hearts, but I know his wonderful spirit lives on in all of you. I miss the fun letters we sent back and forth for a few years and knew something was wrong when his notes to me stopped suddenly. May God's love provide you peace and comfort.
