May I offer condolences on behalf of the William Casey branch of the family on the loss of both Jack and Grace? We remember them both fondly. Aline and Grace lived with the Enzlers when they were studying. I worked with both Aline and Grace and Sally on the family tree. My mother always liked the fact that we O'Connors were not related to your father but to your mother on my mother's side of the family. You are all in our prayers. Clare O'Connor Coulter
