Condolence Messages
good and helpful person. She provided meals to sick neighbors and was supportive of the well-being and success of those in the neighborhood. She played the
piano and I was always impressed as a child that she could entertain at a birthday party at a professional level. She was a prolific writer and always
remembered us on birthdays and holidays.
Grace was a dynamo. If she had lived in an era when women could reach their full potential, she would have been the CEO of a big company. She was always very
well-organized and on top of current happenings. She had a great sense of humor and appreciated a good joke. She will be missed. Quote
