Gracie,
I miss you so much.I still can not process that you are no longer here with me. I miss talking to you and our daily conversations about nothing but just foolish girl talk. You were not only my sister but you were my best friend. You were an inspiration to all who knew you. You had an amazing big heart and a smile that lit up a room when you walked in. Just by all the people that came to your wake I never realized how many people you touched. You were so loved....I can see that. We were all blessed because you were in our lives. You fought your cancer with so much courage and never complained. It was never about you it was always about the quality of life you provided for your children. You loved your family so much. It will be your generosity, your big heart, all the hugs you gave everyone, your love, all your support you gave me throughout my lifetime, all the special occasions, our times with our children, your wisdom, and all our memories that I will hold close in my heart. I know that you're walking among the ANGELS in Heaven and that you are smiling down on us. You are my sunshine Gracie my only sunshine please keep smiling on me till we meet again. I love you always....LIZZIE

Dear Grace - I hope you have found everlasting peace. May your family find comfort in the memories of you that forever will keep you alive in their hearts. I treasure the fond memories of us in our high school days, Mystic Lake, the dances, and the many laughs we shared. With deepest sympathy. Amy (Gaspar) Kopchell (formerly of Somerville)

Our family will keep yours in our hearts and prayers. She will live through all of you, and though you may not see her... she'll always be right there... in your smiles, in your laughter, and in all that you do. It was truly my pleasure to be blessed to know her, and see her love and devotion to all of you. Love and prayers, and may there someday be peace in your heart knowing she will be waiting, and watching you until you are all reunited someday.

Many tears were shed in our home at the news of Grace's passing. I'm sure there will be many more to come. I know I speak for my entire family, Doris, Conor, Timmy Nora and Huntar when I say the world has lost a most beautiful human being who gave so much of herself so others might share her love. All who ever knew Grace will reflect on her strength and passion for life. God Bless her and her family during this time of sadness. May her entire family draw from her strength and memory to carry on. I could go on forever...

DEAR ABRANTES FAMILY,
I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND MY SYMPATHY TO YOUR FAMILY. GRACE WAS A WONDERFUL WOMAN, I HAD THE PLEASURE OF BEING HER HAIRDRESSER FOR MANY YEARS, I ALWAYS LOOKED FORWARD TO OUR CONVERSATIONS. SHE ALWAYS MENTIONED AND SHOWED ME PICTURES OF HER CHILDREN, SHE WAS VERY PROUD OF ALL OF YOU. I HOPE THAT SHE MAY NOW REST IN PEACE.
LOVE MARY
