Mrs. Brickner was a great lady, I remember her well as well as her children. Grew up with them all, and she was a wonderful neighbor. Because of all the children we use to call our street Brickner Alley instead of Mason. I remember her laughing about that. Sorry for your loss. Prayers are with you all. She is with Fireman Gus.

Aunt Gracie was a remarkable lady. She recalled every detail of every incident from the distant past to the present day with amazing accuracy - but she forgave me anyway! Strong. Kind. Sweet. So pleasant and engaging. Aunt Gracie: I will truly miss you. All the secrets of the universe that have tried the greatest minds of religion, science and philosophy have now been revealed to you. Rest peacefully in that knowledge. We will be along directly, ❤❤
