Grace Ellen Mahnke

my best next door neighbor ever,my second mother. Best cake decorator ever.A good friend to my parents, miles and Dulcie..and to my boys when they were growing up...God bless Grace. I am proud to have known her..Judith Smith (formerly Guy)

Grace was my first neighbor after moving to Sonoma county in 1972. She lived next door.We shared the same birthday,She was like a second nana to my boys.Made my first son his first birthday cake, and then many more cakes came after that. she and John were great neighbors to my parents. Miles and Dulcie Lomas. She holds a real special place in my heart like nobody else does. She tried to help me as a young mother, and I'll never forget that....Love you Grace...Be proud of your mum, Connie, and...
