Our hearts go out to all of you in Grace's family. Both Grace and Ray played such a huge role in our early marriage and young family. We lived in the upstairs apartment of their house, the Old Danby Inn. They introduced us to all the ins and outs of Danby and Ithaca. Such hard workers and fun loving people. We had so much fun with both of them, and were so blessed to have had them in our family's life. Treasured faces and treasured memories. Love, Debbi and Pete Goodman and family

I remember Grace from the Memory Care Unit at Walden Place where my mother also resided. She was a delightful character! I often wondered if we were somehow related by marriage -- my fraternal grandmother's maiden name was Niles. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet Grace. My prayers for the family and friends she left behind.

Dear Sandi and family, MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY to all of you at this very sad time. I will always remember the fun I always had with your Mom when we bowled together on a team, and partyed after. She always talked of you "kids" also and was so proud of all. Prayers will help you keep strong at this time. Marcia Miller
