Dace V. (Vijups) Gionfriddo

To the family of Dace: I remember Dace and John when they used to dine at the Casa Nova Restaurant in Vernon, CT back in the early 1980's. They were such a happy couple and always so kind and generous. Then we met again years later at the law firm where I currently work. Again, they were both wonderful and caring people. Dace was always so positive and upbeat no matter what the circumstances were. It was a joy to know her. My deepest sympathy to all her family and friends.

Dace I can't seem to wrap myself around this. I can't let go of you my friend. Please don't go! I love you so much! Ang

I will love you forever

Mara, I have such fond memories of you when we were growing up together. I'm so sorry for your very sad loss. Peace of mind and heart to you. With love, Louisa Casadei-Johnson

I had the privelidge of knowing Dace from elementry school through high school. We had some wonderful times together and [ although we lost touch over the years] I will hold the memories that we shared close to my heart. She will be missed and she was indeed loved.

Dear Sweet Dace, you're the sister I never had and the best friend anyone could ever hope for. Your laughter was infectious, your generous nature so sincere. You gave from the heart like no one else I know. Dace girl, you were so very, very special to me, it is unbearable to think how much I miss you. Thank God you are at peace now, for that I am thankful. Until we meet again, "love you lots"! Marrianne

Dace, We will never forget the great times we had with you at the Pink House. We laughed so much and played cards for hours. You always made everyone feel so welcome and what a fabulous host you were. We will always remember you and the time we shared together.

Mara, Just a note to say I'm thinking of you during this time in your life. I'm glad that you were able to be present with Dace when she passed. That is truly a gift not to be taken for granted. All the best, love to you, xsheila

To Dace's Family,
I offer my condolences and prayers of support during the diffcult times of adjustment ahead. And with special regards to my old elementary school friend, Mara--you are a part of my warm memories. May the God of all peace comfort you.
