24 years ago a sweet retired lady moved in next door. We became instant friends and not too much later we became family. Even our dogs loved Grace! We'll cherish wonderful memories of our times together: from celebrating holidays and birthdays to sitting on the front porch gossiping. She's the only person I know that spent a great deal of money on dirt! Her beloved garden was a true joy for her and for the neighborhood that admired it. She'll be in our hearts forever...Sharon, Brent and Graham Smith
