Marilyn, So sorry to hear about your brother's death. I remember what fun it was to visit your farm on Bushee Road when I was a child and the 3-holer outhouse always fascinated me. The days of our youth rapidly come to an end,but Allen lived the good life of a farmer replenishing the earth. With deepest sympathy to all the Chace Clan, Peggy Duarte Reichle, Mims, Florida

Dear Marilyn and Family, You know I loved this man! True "salt of the earth." Will never forget how he enjoyed his banana splits at the cafe. I miss our "vibrant" discussions at the greenhouses in springtime. Allen knew "hard work." Now he can rest in peace and comfort. Your sorrow is shared. God Bless. Karen
