Our son Steve's death (Steven Marquis "Steve" Lance) is one of many deaths attributed to aneurysms in our Morris family including my mother (Phyllis Alberta Toney Vandale) and both of her sisters (Betty Lee Toney Sroka and Alice "Jane" Toney Lynch), two of my first cousins and now our children. We learned of more deaths of the same manner in my grandmother's (Rilla Selena (twin) Morris Toney) sister's family."
