Dear Mary and Family-
I was very saddened to learn today of your Dad’s passing. From the many family stories Mary shared with me over the years - I learned your father was a remarkable man who loved his family and had a good sense of humor. My sincere condolences to you Mary and each member of the Grogan Family. Mary, I don’t know if you will remember the cereal story you shared- but your Dad can now enjoy all the Cheerio’s his little heart desires. Love,
Stephanie Ransom

To all the Grogan Family: Our sincere condolences and thougths are with you at this time of loss. Some of you don't remember us, however I am Irene (Gentry) Stewart's daughter. Julia was a very special person in our lives, along with daughters, & granddaughters. Julie always spoke very highly of her children and I know they are all in Heaven along with my son, Ryan, watching over us. May you find comfort in knowing Sam is in God's hands. Lovingly, Terri (Stewart) & Roger Punturi and family.
