GRACE SHEEHY

I am so very saddened by Gracie's death. She was my great friend in Philadelphia in the 1970s - where she worked as a probation officer. She was indeed compassionate, humorous, insightful and wise. Full of life and a wonderful friend. Lovely Gracie.

It's wonderful to read this tribute to Grace. She is missed on a daily basis. I can't imagine how difficult it is for Regan, Molly & Patrick, as well as the grandchildren. May photos and memories such as this tribute help carry you through difficult times.

Grace lived up to her name - but she just as aptly could have been named Compassion, Patience, Intelligence, or Humor. Her passion for the work we do had a great impact on the many people that were lucky enough to share her presence. I love Grace and will miss her.

My thoughts and prayers are with Grace's daughters, and with Patrick, who introduced this kind, lovely woman into so many lives. She was the personification of her name.

What a lovely, lovely tribute. I"m glad to have had Grace in my life, some years back. Gentle and kind wishes to you all.

Regan and Molly, you and your families have been in my thoughts a lot over the past several months. Your mom was a remarkable woman who raised some pretty amazing daughters. She will be missed.

I will be in Tacoma on Friday in my heart. Love to you. Pat, Regan and Molly you are in my thoughts. Grace was an incredible inspiring woman and I will miss dancing with her.

Grace, I'll never stop loving or missing you. To quote a famous poet, e.e. said it so well: "I carry your heart....I carry it in my heart"...And yes, Grace, We did have fun!!

Grace touched so many peoples lives, including ours. An amazing woman and friend, who will be missed greatly. God speed and protect. Much love, Bunny & Stephen
