Hi John, Ree, Nancy and grandkids,
sorry for your loss. I just arrived in Mass for business last night and sorry I could not attend the service. I remember all the good times our families had at your swimming pool when we were young.

Mrs. Grim was a wonderful teacher with a great sense of humor. Many of my fondest memories of high school were in her class.

To the Grim family - I am terribly sorry for your loss. It has been over 15 years since I sat in Senora Grim's classroom, but I will never forget her dedication, compassion and true enjoyment of the Spanish language. She was truly a very special teacher who touched many lives.

My deepest sympathy to your family on the loss of your mother. I was the school nurse at Canton High and had many fun times with Joan. I am unable to attend since I am in Florida until May but wanted you to know that I will keep her in my prayers.

To The Grim Family
My deepest synpathy to all. I only knew Joan for a short time and i do regret that. Her faith was very strong so I know she is with HIM now.
She did have a very difficult year but now she is with her husband in a new and wonderful life with God.
Peace be with all of you at this time.
