To The Fox Family,

How sad we were to hear of Grace's passing. What wonderful memories of her you will always be able to hold in your hearts and share with each other! We have our own incredible memories of her too. What fun we always had!! Too many good times to count. She was truly the definition of a "classy lady" with a heart as big as heaven.

If there is anything we can do or you just need someone to talk to, we'll be here.

Love,

Kathy & Harry Hulderman
