I was so sorry to learn of Cousin Michael's passing. I remember visiting Uncle Eugene's and playing with our older boy cousins, Mike and John Gross and Joe Noll, who lived across the street. In nice weather the boys would chase us younger ones outside and we loved it! Another fond memory is being introduced to and reading comic books that Mike and John had. My condolences to John, Steve and Chris for your loss.
Sincerely,
Cousin Cecilia Gross Rose
