Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. It’s hard to lose the last of a generation in a family, and Aunt Marie was the last and represented the best. Youngest of five sisters, including my Mother Lucille, born to Arthur and Nellie Case, she was raised in love and Christian faith, as were her sisters and brothers, and their families. Many happy family reunions and Christmases were held at the Case home on Lancaster Road. We all cherish these precious memories and now say goodbye to the last of that greatest generation.
