Billy, Marilyn, Danny and Family,
Please know that Richard and I are so very sorry on the passing of Auntie Grayce.

She was a very lovable, kind, compassionate woman that just made you feel so special. A woman wise beyond her years. You could have a very intriguing, interesting conversation with her with just about anything. Always up to date with the current events going on in the country and world. She always maintained her wits about her. She LOVED her "Kentucky Fried Chicken" and everytime we pass one, she will certainly be thought of with fond memories. She absolutely loved "HER" Billy and Billy loved her. We all loved her and we will miss talking with her on the phone. When she would call us, she would always ask, "Where is my Moo Moo?"

Well Auntie, you are now reunited with Uncle Bill, your siblings, family and friends. I'm sure they were all welcoming you with open arms.

We are all going to miss you immensely, especially Billy. I know you always worried about him but that is what a mother does, no matter how old they are they are still your baby. We will make sure that he takes care of himself and we promise, we will always be in touch with him.

Rest in the Sweetest Peace Auntie for we all will be reunited one day.

May God Bless Your Beautiful Soul,
With all our Love,
Mariann & "Moo Moo" Richard
