Note from Coni: I just spoke to Gretta and they have already put out the newspaper with Graces obit – 2 of her deceased siblings are missing in the obit – (brother) Rex Allen Sr. & (sister) Roseman Maxon – Gretta was having difficulties remembering all of them (11 total – only 3 are with us now) much on her plate and know things are tough for all them right now~ the obit on the funeral home will have the correct info once they are able to get it in – but the newspaper has already been printed.
Note from Coni: Aunt Gracie was my Father’s sister – she is the 7th of the 11 Allen/Nallet/Griffin children to pass away~
