Grace was kind and loving to everyone around her. She always took the time to share a few words and a smile and I always felt that she really cared. She and Sammy had an amazing relationship; you could see it whenever they were together and it will live on in Joanna, Peter, Jeanine and all their beautiful grandchildren. We will miss her.

Grace has been an inspiration to me for 15 years.Grace provided me with a role model and strength when I was diagnosed with cancer. She showed the true meaning of her name "Grace" during her years of illnesses and set backs. Her priorities included her family and faith first. She was always willing to share and ask about others and not about dwelling on her own health issues. Grace was a loving person to all and will be dearly missed. With deep sympathy in the loss of our cousin.
