We were so sad to learn of Grace's death. We have many fond memories of her. We worked with Grace in the Highland Park schools for many years, but our relationship transcended that of co-workers. Grace was the first person to babysit for our firstborn (35 years ago), when we dropped our daughter, Robbie, at Grace & Sam's house so that we could head into Chicago for a family wedding. Please accept our sincerest condolences and know that you (and Grace) are in our thoughts.

I offer my deepest condolences to the Tepper family on the loss of Grace.I was her dentist many years ago. My fondest memory was that she always seemed to have a smile on her face. My wife remembers her as the nurse at the school where my daughters attended. Regards to all the Teppers. Grace, you wonderful person, may you Rest In Peace. Dr.Stan Kantor
