I have been friends with Grace's oldest daughter Sue since we were 10 years old.
She always made me feel part of the family. She took us to the Nature Center and a picnic in the West Rock Park. She was an avid reader with a great sense of humor.
She treated me like one of her daughters. She will be greatly missed by all.
Love and Prayers
