My dear friend Grace, I am so grateful for the many years of friendship with such an amazing person. Your kindness, generosity, beautiful smile and great sense of humor will surely be missed, but never forgotten. I have such wonderful memories from this last year, that I will cherish forever.
My sincerest condolences to Gary and Don and their families.
Rest in peace Grace.

Grace, I am so sad at your passing. When some dies, it seems as if time stands still. And silence... a quiet sadness... often can be felt. And we may not understand why God chose to have you leave this earth so soon, or why you had to leave before we were ready to say goodbye, but little by little, perhaps we will begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And in your life, you touched us and gave us memories. We will see you again someday, in a heavenly place where there is no parting. A place where there are no words that mean goodbye. Wishing you peace Grace.
