Hello. I am Justin Gabriel Ardolino. My mother was Noreen O´Connor who was the daughter of Peter O´Connor, Jr. I am trying to connect with family and fill in some information gaps in my family tree. Please feel free to reach out to me, and my condolences for a relative I never had the opportunity to meet.

Thank you all for sharing such beautiful sentiments, memories and love. Please know that my family and I are reading these and are deeply grateful. I'm going to post more pictures here soon. Again - Thank You.

I attended Saint Cecilia's High School and later worked with Gracie at RCA in Harrison. She was, without a doubt, the most fun loving person to be around. We had some wonderful times especially accompanying her on some of here singing exploits. My life was happier because she was I it.

Sending condolences on your loss. I was a fellow Harrisonian of Grace and remember her well. May she rest in peace..

Dear Natashja and Peter,
I am so saddened by the news. Grace was my first best friend and I loved her. We had a wonderful time together, especially in Harrison High.
Curt sends his condolences. He was very fond of Grace and loved the stories she told.
A little light has now gone out of my life and I will lovingly remember you always Gracie.

May Grace rest in peace. She was a part of our family for many years. We will all miss her stories and her stopping by at any time. Her sending cards with many notes to keep us up to date.
