It is with great sadness to learn of Marjorie's passing. We were one of your neighbors from Key Biscayne (Greenwood Drive) back in the 1950's. My dad was Brooks Grimme and worked with Gene at FP&L at that time. I still have fond memories of playing with your children when I was a young child. My mother, Martha, would like to offer her most sincere condolences to the Autrey family in this time of grief. Your family was always highly thought of by our family and our parents shared many good times together while at FP&L. On behalf of all in my family, please accept our deepest sympathies to all of the Autrey family.

Martha, Gary & Kay Grimme

I'm sorry, Karen, I was thinking of your dad and wrote Kim's name. He was always a familiar face there at the church and I missed seeing him. He also used to talk with me about his grandchildren; he was SO proud of them!
Love, Carlen

Dear Kim and Karen, we are so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear mother. But what a joy to know she is with the Lord; it makes all the difference and truly takes the sting out of death. Kim, we heard of your father's passing too. I missed seeing him at Granada when I would visit my parents. What a reunion there will be in heaven one day! We will be praying for your family as I know that their gain is still such a hardship for you all, and especially your Dad. We think of you often.
Love in Christ, Phil and Carlen Davis Blevins
