Mr Grimes and his family were more than a little instrumental in the writing of my Margaret Katherine O’Casey novels–more fun than a ride at
the fair.
Mark was an encourager to me as well as Wanda. I am grateful for welcome visits in their home periodically for several years. Very sweet Christian friends.
May you RIP. Marcus you were like my second dad growing up. You taught me a lot of things over the years. I consider the whole family my family. You will be missed and never forgotten ❤️
I love you Daddy. Thank you for being my Daddy and my hero
