    To Norm, George, Kathy, and Joanne: I have fond memories of Gracie from way back when we were young. My father Uncle Sam and her mother Aunt Marie were brother and sister. She used to come to Frankfort and we would go to Rochester to visit relatives at least twice or three times a year. We were very close cousins. But years passed and times changed and we had our own families. I spoke to Grace last November when she called me after my father died. We had a nice long talk on the phone. She was always in my thoughts and will always be in my memory. I can remember all you children when you were young. I hope you remember me. You have my sympathy. Take care, Cousin Sammy
