Not sure what to say?

Grace believed in me and got me started in my career in Senior Living Sales. She was a loyal leader and a true lady who had class and professionalism. She took a chance on me and after nearly 25 years in our industry, I am happy to have had the opportunity to enjoy some significant achievements at several CCRC's around the country. Thanks, Grace. You will never be forgotten.

I just learned of Grace's passing today from a mutual friend. I am so sorry and I will miss her dearly. I had the privilage of having Grace live with me one summer between moving from Indiana to Virginia. It is a time I will never forget. She was such a joy to be around. We did a 25 mile night bike ride in Indy that was a blast. I could always pick up the phone or e-mail her and we chatted like we were never apart. I am so sad for her sons and grandchildren she loved you all dearly. I...

I am so sorry to hear about Grace's death. She was such a good, fun, warm and strong person. I will dearly miss her. My condolences to her boys and family. Julie ellefson (Houston, Texas)

I was just looking for Grace on FB and was shocked and saddened to see this news. Grace was a dear friend, mentor and confidant over the years. I have fond memories of working together at SME in Dearborn MI back in the 80's, and chopping down Christmas trees with her (then) young boys in Chelsea. As our careers and lives took different paths, the time and distance would melt away when we connected for long phone conversations; and when she visited me in California. Her bright smile,...

Thoughts and prayers to Kushmauls and McCalla boys...lots of fun and laughs over the years at CHS and ol' Chelsea-town. She blessed many.

Gracie was a valued friend. We worked out at the same place, saw "Wicked" and had lunch and dinners together. I was one of those nuts who jumped out of a "perfectly good" airplane in Houston. She was one of a kind and I will greatly miss her.

I am so sorry to learn of Grace's passing and only recently learned of it. She helped our family so much when it was time to move my grandmother to Parkway Place. In fact, my grandmother passed the day before she was to move in. This was a horribly difficult time for us and Grace made it as easy as possible. I will miss Grace's compassion, caring, smile and professionalism. Our prayers are with your family.
Best regards,

So sorry to hear about Grace. We are in FL and unable to make the visitation. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.

My heart goes out to all of you in Grace's passing . She put up such a great fight during the last year and had us convinced she will beat this . Was out of State and sorry to miss the visitation. Her life was her family and I have many pictures of the grandkids that she loved so much. If I could be of any help in the future , I would welcome that . And Bill , if you could give me a call when things settle down it would be appreciated . 734 2163075
