To Steve, Danny and the rest of the Grenke family,
I would like to offer my depest sympathy to all of you at this hard time right now. Your Mom was a really sweet lady and I always enjoyed talking to her when I would stop by the house as a kid. I would always call her if I didn't know how to get a hold of Steve and she would always help me out and give me his number.She was a fighter and loved her family dearly and will be missed by all.
