When I was growing up I always look up
to you. You were so tall and strong and
active in every thing you did.
Our relationship was always so special

each other and wished each other well.

Aunt Grace will be missed so much. Remembering all the food that i did not like she made me eat. The worse was the blood sausage. Going to aunt grace and uncle Eds house staying with grandma for the summer was the best time ever. Never wanted to leave to go home because we had such a great time with animals, tractors and playing in the dirt making mud pies. Running and hiding in the orchard from the airplanes and swimming in the canal. Those were the good days. Best of all was hearing Aunt...

Leroy remembered many New Year Eve's, Margaret and I would go out with Grace and Ed. We would have a great time. We would get lost in the fog and didn't make it to the party until after midnight. Tommy and Linda would go out to Grace's with Mamo
and have Grace's home made ice cream. We would help feed the baby lamb and goat. Grace was bending over and the goat butted her in the butt. We laugh so hard. There were so many animals , all of us kids always had a good time. We learned to...

My Sister Grace will be missed by many who knew her. Grace had a big heart and was always giving. Grace was called as Big Sister, always so strong. Grace taught me how to cook when I was 12 yrs old. Happy times and laughter I will always remember. Wonderful life growing up and going over to the ranch to play with all the animals etc. There was always people at her home, Grace would come to the door and say "Come on In". Always food at the table. My heart hurts at this time but she is at...
