One of my favorite and everlasting memories of Grace is from the early 90´s with Taylor and my son Justin in childcare at Wee Play School in a costume parade dressed as Indians. Grace and I laughed over that memory for the rest of her life. RIP sweet friend

Grace was a wonderful person. A loving mother and daughter who always put her family first. She always lit up the room when she came in and had smiles and nice words for all. I always looked for her to come at the holidays. She will be missed by all.
