Dear Mr. & Mrs. Finke and Kathryn and Susanne,
You have my deepest sympathy for your loss. My parents (Jack and Josie Harmon) called to tell me about Grace today. Grace holds a special place in my heart. She was one of my few friends in high school. I remember Grace as one of the kindest people I've ever met. I remember sitting beside the pool (Hidden Valley - I think) singing Rod Stewart songs. I couldn't forget her red bedroom if I tried. I haven't seen Grace since she brought her first baby up to my parents house for a vist. I just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Susan Harmon Bauer
